Château Fleur de Cantelys 2022 – refined and fresh white wine from Pessac-Léognan

Château Fleur de Cantelys 2022 is an elegant and characterful white wine from the coveted Pessac-Léognan in Graves – one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious dry white wine regions. This is a wine of finesse, depth and crisp freshness, created for those seeking true Bordeaux quality with modern precision.

The wine is produced at Château Cantelys, owned by Daniel and Florence Cathiard – also known from Château Smith Haut Lafitte. The combination of classic terroir and uncompromising winemaking results in a white wine that delivers well above its price range. The grapes – Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon – come from approximately 20-year-old vines planted on high gravel soils with optimal drainage. This gives intense aromatics, great structure and vibrant acidity.

The result is a white Bordeaux that can be enjoyed young for its fresh fruit and cellared for additional complexity. An ideal wine for those who want quality from Pessac-Léognan without compromise.

The history of the house

Château Cantelys is located between Léognan and Martillac in the heart of Graves. The property was taken over in 1994 by Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who have since raised the quality significantly through investments in both vineyards and cellar.

With 24 hectares of vineyards and a focus on terroir, sustainability and precision, Château Cantelys has built a strong reputation in Pessac-Léognan. In recent years, the white wines in particular have stood out for their purity, elegance and fruit-driven style – and Château Fleur de Cantelys 2022 is a shining example of this development.
