Les Allées de Cantemerle 2019, Haut Médoc

Les Allées de Cantemerle exists to show what is left behind. As the second wine of Château Cantemerle, it is built from parcels and lots that do not make the final selection for the grand vin, not because they are lesser, but because they express the estate differently.

In 2019, a vintage defined by balance on the Left Bank, that distinction becomes particularly clear. The structure is present, but the edges are softer, the profile more immediate, the architecture less strict. Tasting a second wine in a year like this is one of the most direct ways to understand selection in Bordeaux.
