Château Cantemerle 2011

75cl / 13.0%
  Grapes : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: Deep ruby red, with a slightly lighter rim as the wine ages.
  • Nose: The 2011 vintage of Cantemerle often shows a fragrant bouquet of blackberries, cassis, and plum, with subtle herbal notes, such as cedar, tobacco, and a touch of graphite. There's also a hint of vanilla from the oak aging.
  • Palate: The wine tends to be medium—to full-bodied, with a good balance between fruit and tannins. You might find flavors of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackcurrant and cherry, along with earthy, savory tones. The tannins are firm but approachable, and the structure suggests it could age well for a few more years.
  • Finish: The finish is generally smooth with lingering dark fruit and some spice.
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:
  • Red meats (roast beef, lamb, steak)
  • Grilled meats
  • Charcuterie
  • Hard cheeses (e.g., aged Gouda or Comté)
  • Dishes with earthy components, such as mushroom-based sauces.

In the Middle Ages, the Château of Cantemerle, which still border the Garonne River, made up part of the line of fortifications that defended the banks of the Médoc region. The first traces of the Lords of Cantemerle’s name dates to the 12th century and the viticultural production on the property from 1354; the Lord of Cantemerle paid his tithes with a cask of clairet wine. During the 16th century wine became the main industry of Cantemerle. In 1855, Château Cantemerle was classified as a fifth growth. In 1892, the descendants of the last of the Villeneuve family, the Baroness d’Abbadie, sold Cantemerle to the Dubos family, thus ending the Villeneuve de Durfort family’s “reign” of over three hundred years. Pierre Dubos, died in 1967; his great-nephew Bertrand Clauzel took it over until it was sold in 1981 to the SMABTP group
