Les Allées de Cantemerle – Haut-Médoc 2014 🇫🇷

Bordeaux Royalty on a First-Name Basis

A second label that drinks like a first-class experience.
Les Allées de Cantemerle 2014 is the kind of wine that proves you don’t need a Grand Cru bankroll to sip like you summer in Saint-Émilion. Born from Château Cantemerle, a legit Fifth Growth since 1855, this Haut-Médoc beauty delivers structure, spice, and silky fruit — all wrapped in that effortlessly cool Bordeaux polish.

🏅 88 Points – Falstaff

“Tobacco, blackcurrant, and pepper… a fresh first impression and lively finish.”
Translation: It’s balanced, drinkable, and way more elegant than its price tag suggests.

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep garnet with violet glints — think velvet in a glass.

• Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, and a whisper of tobacco and vanilla oak.

• Palate: Medium-bodied and smooth. Dark fruit, cracked pepper, and just enough oak to remind you this bottle spent time in serious barrels.

• Finish: Long, earthy, and clean — the kind of finish that keeps the glass moving back to your lips.

🏰 The Château Story, Simplified

Château Cantemerle sits pretty in the Haut-Médoc, one of the OG power players of Bordeaux. Les Allées is their second wine, made from younger vines but handled with the same obsession as their top-tier label.

The 2014 vintage is refined and ready — no need to wait a decade to drink it. Aged for 12 months in French oak, this is Médoc for the modern drinker: classic bones, approachable style.

🍽️ What to Pair with This Left Bank Legend

• 🧀 Cheese: Aged Comté, nutty Gouda, or anything firm and funky.
