Critic reviews
"The 2023 Cantemerle offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, mint and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, round and fleshy palate that's a touch varietal in profile this year."
William Kelley, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Cantemerle has a straightforward bouquet with blackberry and tobacco scents, moderate complexity, quite old school in style. The palate is medium-bodied with black fruit, still with that nagging vegetal note on the finish. Will that be subsumed or turn into another flavor? I have to be prudent with my score."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Cantemerle is a deep, potent wine. A blast of dark plum, blackberry, mocha, grilled herbs, gravel and lavender make a strong first impression. The aromatics and overall structure are quite appealing, although I find the tannins a touch bruising at this stage. A long, sustained finish compensates to some degrees. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Vinous.com
"A rich and balanced red with aromas of black currants, chocolate, bark, cedar and some nutmeg. It's medium- to full-bodied, creamy and delicious already. From organically grown grapes. Refined. Drink or hold."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Stands right up there with the best Left Banks, great quality, full of character and savour, smoky grilled nose shows evident but well-integrated oak, rose bud, spiced plum, cassis, cocoa bean, crayon, fine tannins, a ton of ageing ahead, great stuff. 35% new oak, 43hl/ha yield. single point upscore."
