What is Château Cantemerle?

A classified-growth Bordeaux estate in the Haut-Médoc, with winemaking history stretching back to the 14th century. It's a Fifth Growth in the famous 1855 classification, making classic, age-worthy, Cabernet-led Left Bank reds — often considered excellent value for a classed-growth Bordeaux. Its name means singing blackbird.

What's the story behind Cantemerle's 1855 classification?

Cantemerle was famously left off the original 1855 list — and only added after its owner, Caroline de Villeneuve, produced 40 years of sales records proving her wine had long fetched Fifth-Growth prices. It became the only estate added to the classification for over a century, which is why some references still mark it with an asterisk.

How much is delivery?

UK delivery is free on orders over £125. For smaller orders, standard delivery is £3.99 for a single bottle (2–4 business days). Faster 1–3 business day delivery is priced by order size:

  • 1 bottle — £3.99
  • 2–3 bottles — £6.99
  • 4–6 bottles — £7.99
  • 7–12 bottles — £8.99
  • 13+ bottles — £15.99

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 365-day return policy — a full year to return unopened bottles, which is far longer than most independent merchants. To be eligible, items must be unopened, unused and in their original packaging. Return postage is arranged by you (we recommend a tracked service), and once we've received and inspected the return we'll refund your original payment method within five business days. Sale items and gift cards can't be returned.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Every order is packed in specialist wine packaging built for safe transit, so breakages are rare — and fully covered when they do happen. If anything arrives damaged, take a few photos and send them to hello@vinoshop.co.uk. We'll send you a return label and get a fresh replacement on its way as soon as the return reaches us. No fuss.

Do you offer free local delivery?

Yes. If you're within 10 miles of our Winscombe shop, delivery is free on orders over £49, or £3.99 below that — usually within 1–3 business days.

Can I collect my order in person?

Yes — collection from our Winscombe shop is free. Choose local pickup at checkout and we'll email you when your order's ready, usually within about four hours (the next day if you order late in the day or after hours). Bring your order confirmation when you collect.
