L’Orangerie de Cantemerle 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.

The second label of Château Cantemerle is usually “Les Allées de Cantemerle”, but L’Orangerie was produced exclusively for the 2017 vintage, made from a selection of parcels and gently worked to give it a friendly and welcoming character.
