Château Cantenac
Château Cantenac produces wines across Saint-Émilion Grand Cru and Côtes de Bourg, two distinct expressions of Bordeaux's right bank. The flagship Saint-Émilion Grand Cru blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot—the classic trio of the appellation—into a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. The Climat Saint-Émilion Grand Cru follows a similar varietal framework, while the Chateau Clos Cantenac Côtes de Bourg extends the winery's reach into the adjacent region, where the same Bordeaux grapes take on different character. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru demands structure and aging potential; these wines reflect the limestone-clay terroir and the precision required of the appellation's classified estates.
