Château Cantemerle is a wine estate in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, whose vines now cover 93 hectares and whose great wine is 5th Grand Cru Classé in the Haut-Médoc appellation.
The grape varieties are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), Merlot (27%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot 4%), with vines being 35 years old on average.
Known since the Middle Ages, it was part of the fortifications on the banks of the Médoc in the 12th century, and its history was then linked, from 1579, to the Villeneuve Durfort family for more than three hundred years. Théophile-Jean Dubos acquired it in 1892 and his family kept it until 1981.
It was then taken over by the SMA group which, under the direction of Jean Cordier, who also owned several châteaux in Bordeaux, replanted the vineyard and renovated the technical installations. In 1993, the SMA group decided to give the château its autonomy by setting up a team and then launched the second wine, Les Allées de Cantemerle in 1995. The early 2000s saw the introduction of a more environmentally friendly approach to the vineyard and the winery. Surrounded by a jewel, a magnificent park of 28 hectares, the preservation of the environment is a necessity for Château Cantemerle.
