Fruity aromas, delicate tannin
Vineyard, Culture and Harvest
This second wine comes mainly from the chateau's young vines, and is made like its elder brother. Les Allees de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential. As it ages more quickly, Les Allées de Cantemerle is generally ready to be consumed within several years of the vintage.
