Château Cantemerle
A fifth growth of 1855 and one of the five classified growths attached to the Haut-Médoc, in the commune of Macau, Cantemerle is the only château added to the classification after the list was published: absent from the document of 18 April 1855, it was written in by hand on 16 September of the same year. Its vineyard is surrounded by a wooded park of several dozen hectares.
