Wine

Situated on the Left bank of the Gironde in the region Haut-Médoc, the area is home to many wineries, however following a law of 1954, Cantenac wines fall under the Margaux AOC, as there is no appreciable difference between the two communes.[3] The chateaux of Cantenac that were ranked at the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 are:

• Château Brane-Cantenac
• Château Kirwan
• Château d'Issan
• Château Palmer
• Château Boyd-Cantenac
• Château Cantenac-Brown
