Description

Located in Margaux, Chateau Cantenac Brown offers us here a wine composed of a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon and a third of Merlot. Aged in French oak barrels of one wine or new (for 60%, approximately), the wine reveals an intense ruby color from which escapes an intense aromatic bouquet and a dense, fleshy and persistent mouth announcing a great potential of guard.

iDealwine Primeur tasting note : “The nose reveals blackcurrant bud aromas along with woody and black fruit notes, while the palate is characterised by freshness and plenty of fine, soft tannins.”

Wine Advocate : “The first vintage produced in the estate’s new state-of-the-art winery, the 2023 Cantenac Brown has turned out very well indeed, offering up aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that’s serious and precise, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This blend of 71.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc represents 52% of the estate’s production; and it reflects both the new winery’s enhanced capabilities, along with the presence of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon derived from holdings recently acquired in the heart of the plateau of Margaux.”
