Château Cantemerle is a wine estate near Bordeaux. In the Haut-Médoc appellation, the vineyard covers an area of 90 hectares. The average age of the vines is 35 years. The grape varieties produced and harvested at Château Cantemerle are Petit Verdot (4%), Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), Merlot (23%) and Cabernet Franc (5%).

Philippe Dambrine has just handed over to Laure Canu to manage Château Cantemerle, so characteristic of the Médoc. The wines have always been very elegant, but those produced over the past decade have an extra depth and definition, clearly positioning it as one of the best value for money in the entire Médoc.

Théophile-Jean Dubos, husband of Charlotte Delbos, took over the estate in 1892, with the help of his two sons Pierre and Bernard. Théophile Dubos was simultaneously a wine grower and owner of Cantemerle, vice-president of the Syndicat des crus classés du Médoc, and a merchant of the Dubos Frères company, which was sold in 1914. Upon Théophile's death in 1905, Pierre and Bernard Dubos were co-owners of Cantemerle until 1923, when Pierre became the sole owner. During the war and the crisis years of 1930-1940, many vineyard plots were uprooted at Cantemerle, so that from 1945 onwards, only about 25 hectares were cultivated, which were maintained until 1981. After Pierre Dubos's death in 1962, his grandson Bertrand Clauzel became the sole manager and remained so until the estate was sold in 1981 to the Mutuelles d'Assurance du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics.
