VINEYARD, CULTURE AND HARVEST
This second wine comes mainly from the cheau’s young vines, and is made like its elder brother. Les Alls de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential. As it ages more quickly, Les Alls de Cantemerle is generally ready to be consumed within several years of the vintage.
