Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
(1-1998) The 1961 is still superb, in fact even better than when I last tasted it in 1984. It is impressively opaque dark ruby with only some amberorange at the edge. The huge bouquet of smoky, earthy, black currant fruit, spring flowers, leather, and plums is followed by a lush, full-bodied, concentrated wine with that taste of sur-maturite (overripeness) that frequently characterizes the great vintages in Bordeaux. It is still loaded and in fabulous condition. This unctuous, opulently styled wine should continue to drink well.

Château Cantemerle

Théophile-Jean Dubos, husband of Charlotte Delbos, took over the estate 1892, with the help of his two sons Peter and Bernard. Theophilus Dubos was both owner and winemaker Cantemerle, vice president of the Union of classified growths of the Medoc and negociant at the company Dubos Brothers sold in 1914. Upon the death of Theophilus in 1905, Pierre and Bernard Dubos were co-owners of Cantemerle until 1923, when Peter became sole owner. During the war and the crisis years 1930-1940, numerous parcels of vines were uprooted from Cantemerle and since 1945, Cantemerle grew only about 25 hectares of vines which were maintained until 1981.Upon the death of Pierre Dubos in 1962, his youngest son Bertrand Clauzel became the sole manager and remained so until the sale of the estate in 1981 to Mutual Insurance Building and Public Works.
