Chateau Cantenac

Although Cantenac is a commune in the Haut-Medoc whose wines fall under the Margaux appellation, and although there are 3 classified growths from Margaux with Cantenac in their name, this estate of Chateau Cantenac is firmly on the opposite (right) bank and is a St Emilion Grand Cru.

Owned by the present family since the 1930s, the estate added to its holdings by acquiring Chateau Tour de Grenet (in the Lussac St Emilion appellation) and now offer three wines from Ch Cantenac and one from Ch Tour de Grenet. Apart from the Cantenac main wine, there is Merlot dominated selection as well as a super cuvee made fruit selected from om the best parcels of the vintage.
