The premier cru designation is legit. Much more subdued and balanced compared to its sister. Wonderful stuff. — a year ago
Delicious Volnay. This was the last wine tasted on our 1 week trip to Burgundy. What you don’t see in all these Burg pics was all the tasting we did of the 2022 vintage which is either still in barrels or tanks. We were able to taste ~250 wines from the 2022 vintage. Quality looks good, quantity is way above 2021. 2023 was even more full in terms of quantity. Sante. — 2 years ago

From 100yo vines. Very spicy, savoury character. Funky rhubarb and vegetal notes on the nose. The palate is full of dark fruit and spice. Very concentrated. A singular expression. — a year ago
Interesting red with bright fruit and barn yard funk. Paired well with my pork loin and oriechette with mushroom Bolognese. — 2 years ago
1997 vintage. A nice surprise in a vintage that was not highly regarded. Today, the 1997 outshined the 2000 La Tour de Bessan. Wonderful tasting with Marie-Laure Lurton, who kindly opened older vintages of La Tour de Bessan and Villegeorge. Unfortunately the 1961 Villegeorge was corked but one could tell the structure of the wine,it should be great from a good bottle. — 4 days ago

2020 vintage. General manager Laure Canu states that Cantemerle has never followed trends and will always be a wine of elegance, never showy. And that is exactly what it is. After 15 minutes in the glass, it displays bright cassis fruit, mixed with flowers and cedar wood. Medium-bodied, fresh, and elegant, with more complexity and more refined tannins, compared to the 2018. Very good length too.This is the finest Cantemerle I have ever tasted. Incredible value too. Abv. 13,5 %. — 2 years ago

2021 vintage. A good example of a charming 2021 Margaux, that can be enjoyed now or for at least 10 years. — 4 days ago
