About the Producer Château Cantin

Château Cantin has been owned by Jean Leprince since 1999. One of the finest terroirs in Saint Emilion, with a single block of 33 hectares of vines, planted on clay-limestone and clay-silica soil, with an iron-rich subsoil. The property is named after the little stream at the base of the hill, the Cantin, which never dries up. Château Cantin is a well-structured wine with an excellent capacity to improve with age. It is made primarily with Merlot (65%), with the addition of some Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
