Château d'Arcins

Château Cantemerle

Les Allées de Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

This is quite a deal. $17??
The nose on this wine is deceptive. Spicy and savory. In the mouth, however, it is very light and supple. Fruit forward (strawberry and plum) with some violet. Very round edges, almost completely integrated tannins at 6 years young. Way too easy to drink. I wouldn't sit on this for much longer than 3 years.
Listening to Dolly Parton. Prolific (and I share her birthday)

Needs somehow more time then others, I think

It can definitely handle this extra time pretty well. This wine has been nice and ready to go for a decade now but I think blossoms at the moment when your into the tertiary palate.

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

From 750ml with a couple hours of air, it’s showing bell pepper and ripe currant fruit with just a hint of leather, knit together by lovely acidity. At peak and excellent but with plenty of life remaining. — 25 days ago

Château de Lamarque

Marquis d'Evry Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Château de Lamarque “Héritiers des Marquis d’Evry” 2021
Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
This vintage is a classic Bordeaux blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—sourced from a historic Haut-Médoc château with roots stretching back to the 15th century. It’s the “second wine” of Château de Lamarque, offering approachability while retaining estate quality. The appellation’s gravelly terroir and structured style are evident in every sip.
 

Aromas & Flavors
Rippling with blackcurrant and cassis, the wine is wreathed in cedar, tobacco, and earthy undertones. On the palate, dense fruit and toast meld with a hint of spice—classic left-bank elegance with that savory Médoc streak.
 

Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. A balanced structure makes it satisfying now, while promising graceful evolution over the next 5–10 years.
 

Winemaking Notes
The estate cultivates a blend of vines: roughly 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Fermentation occurs in hidden concrete vats, followed by aging—with about 25% in new French oak barrels.
 

Food Pairing
Perfectly paired with robust fare: beef steaks, roast lamb, silverside, game, and dishes enveloped in rich, savory sauces.


Verdict
A solid Haut-Médoc “second wine” that mirrors the terroir and tradition of Château de Lamarque at a more accessible level—classic, savory, and beautifully balanced. Cheers!
