Clos Cantenac
Clos Cantenac sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank, where clay and limestone soils nurture Merlot-based wines of structure and depth. The winery produces three flagship expressions. La Devine Saint-Émilion Grand Cru and the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru blend Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, anchoring the portfolio in the region's classic idiom—wines marked by the richness Merlot brings and the tannin architecture of Cabernet varieties. L'Exuberance Blanc departs into white territory, pairing Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc for a wine that captures the aromatic lift and mineral tension of the Libournais. Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have rated across the range, with L'Exuberance Blanc earning particular recognition among the three. The winery's output reflects Saint-Émilion's dual character: serious red wines built for cellaring, and a white that speaks to freshness and complexity.
