  "Delicately fragrant, with purple flowers, berry fruit and touches of exotic spices. Sleek and svelte on the palate, this has a calm confidence about it, the flavours driving in one line from start to finish. I love the chalky texture and the purity of fruit. Gentle, not pushed too hard, with plenty of easy enjoyment to be had. Fresh, cool and moreish. Really overdelivers for its price."

  "Delikates Bouquet, frisch gepflückte rote Johannisbeere, betörendes Veilchenparfüm und Preiselbeersaft. Am geradlinigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, stützender Rasse, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, körnigem Extrakt und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale edle Cassiswürze, Heidelbeerdrops und Estragon. Top-Wert aus dem Haut-Médoc, der noch zulegen kann."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "Very close to Margaux, this classed growth estate has produced a dense, rich wine. Its berry flavors are working well with the tannins and core of wood aging to give a solid wine."

  "Lots of work going on at Cantemerle at the moment, and it's a classified estate to watch. Has a sense of energy, vivid black fruit, good lift, a Left Bank signature but at every point feels measured and finessed, without sacrificing concentration, ends with a kick of sweet damson. Don't expect the biggest shoulders of the 1855s estate, but this is great quality. Eric Boissenot consultant, 40% new oak for ageing."

  James Suckling
  "Perfumed, with aromas of smoke, currants, grilled citrus, dried flowers and roasted herbs. Juicy and firm on the palate, with a medium to full body and a fruit-forward finish that shows herbal freshness at the end. Already approachable, but should get better in two more years."

  Falstaff
  "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zartes Ockerrandaufhellung. Etwas verhalten, dunkle Waldbeeren, etwas Brombeeren und Cassis klingen an, zarte Lakritze im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen elegant, feine Tannine, gute Süße, mineralisch, etwas Nougat im Nachhall, zeigt Länge und Potenzial, braucht aber noch weitere Flaschenreife."

  Lisa Perrotti-Brown
  "The 2022 from Laure Canu and team at Cantemerle is a confident blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20% Merlot and 5% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This suggests great harmony on the nose, with a delicately leathery edge to the fruit, which is all desiccated red cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and smoke. It feels aromatically coherent, and the palate only reinforces this first impression, with a charming integration of dark fruit, powdery tannins, ripe phenolic substance and fresh acidity. Lovely structure and substance here, in a finely composed Cantemerle, with plenty of powdery, ripe and gently spicy tannins in the finish and length. A top result. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Currants, black cherries, flowers, mocha, and spearmint aromas open the wine. On the palate, the wine is supple, refined, elegant and creamy,. The fruits are soft, sweet, and fresh, leaving you with supple-textured, sweet cherries and spicy freshness in the finish. Drink from 2026-2045."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2022 Cantemerle offers up attractive aromas of minty blackberries, blueberries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and ample palate that's layered and textural, with a rich core of fruit largely concealing plenty of youthfully firm structuring tannin. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this is a strong effort for this estate, situated on fine gravel soils in the southern Médoc."
