Chateau Cantemerle

The legendary and mysterious history of the great winery Château Cantemerle, beautifully illustrated with romantic views of this ancient French vineyard. This book invites readers to discover an exceptional wine grown in the French region of Bordeaux.

With 150 stunning, atmospheric photographs, Labadie takes readers on a journey around the vineyard, revealing a mansion that looks like Sleeping Beauty’s castle, mysterious shadowy cellars, and a romantic 200-acre park in which wine-lovers can be lost for hours.
