Philippe Dambrine has just handed over to Laure Canu to manage Château Cantemerle, so characteristic of the Médoc. The wines have always been very elegant, but those produced over the past decade have an extra depth and definition, clearly positioning it as one of the best value for money in all of Médoc.

Théophile-Jean Dubos, husband of Charlotte Delbos, took over the estate in 1892, with the help of his two sons Pierre and Bernard. Théophile Dubos was simultaneously a wine grower at Cantemerle, vice-president of the Médoc Classified Growths Syndicate and merchant of the Dubos Frères house sold in 1914. Upon Théophile's death in 1905, Pierre and Bernard Dubos were co-owners of Cantemerle until 1923, when Pierre became sole owner. During the war and the crisis years 1930-1940, many vineyard plots were uprooted at Cantemerle, thus from 1945 onwards, only about 25 hectares were cultivated, which were maintained until 1981. After Pierre Dubos's death in 1962, his grandson Bertrand Clauzel became the sole manager and remained so until the estate was sold in 1981 to the Building and Public Works Insurance Mutuals.
