Les Allées de Cantemerle 2008 is a red Bordeaux blend from Haut-Médoc, produced as the second wine of Château Cantemerle, a Fifth Growth Grand Cru Classé of 1855. It is made mainly from younger vines using the same methods as the grand vin, with total destemming, hand sorting, fermentation at 26–28°C, extended maceration and 12 months in French oak barrels and vats. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
The nose opens with perfumed violets and white flowers, then ripe blackcurrants and dark cherries, with cedarwood, tobacco and allspice beneath. The palate is soft and approachable, with raspberries, red currants, creamy texture, gentle tannins, crushed mineral notes and warm toffee. The finish is clean and lively, with moderate length, lingering coffee and a savoury edge.
