Les Allees de Cantemerle Grand Vin de Bordeaux Haut Médoc AOC

Located in the southern part of the Bordeaux Medoc peninsula, Château Cantemerle, designated a great growth in the famous 1855 classification, thanks to its unique terroir, produces complex well-balanced and refined wines.

This second wine comes mainly from the château’s young vines, and is made like its elder brother.
Les Allées de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential.
As it ages more quickly, Les Allées de Cantemerle is generally ready to be consumed within several years of the vintage.
