Château Cantenac Brown er et 3. Cru Classé-slot i 1855-klassifikationen og regnes blandt de mest markante ejendomme i Margaux. Slottet er let genkendeligt på sin karakteristiske tudor-inspirerede arkitektur og er kendt for sin kompromisløse kvalitetsfilosofi. Vinmarkerne ligger på nogle af appellationens bedste grusjorde, hvor især Cabernet Sauvignon trives og giver vinene struktur, dybde og elegance.
Årgang 2022 byder på intense aromaer af solbær, brombær og mørke kirsebær, flot understøttet af noter af cedertræ, grafit og fine krydderier. Smagen er fyldig og præcis med modne, silkebløde tanniner, frisk syre og en lang, harmonisk afslutning. Vinen består i denne fine årgang af 69 % Cabernet Sauvignon og 31 % Merlot.
En klassisk og ambitiøs Margaux, der forener årgangens koncentration med slottets karakteristiske finesse. Velegnet både til nydelse nu og til længere lagring. Ideel til oksekød, lam og vildt.

Gorgeous blackberry, blackcurrant and tapenade aromas follow through to a medium body with super-integrated tannins that are very refined. The thick, polished, silky texture is impressive.
Decanter - 96
Juicy and lively, cool and crisp with concentrated but cool tannins that give the structure and density. It's massy, full, upfront, but retains a charm in that nothing is harsh or austere or too spiced. It's full but there's something very captivating about this, has excitement and vibrancy and will be totally delicious and moreish when the time is right. Lovely acidity, beautiful red fruits, crisp and tense yet layered and ripe, mineral too. Gives you the emotion!

The 2022 Cantenac Brown has turned out well in bottle, exhibiting a complex bouquet of plums, dark berries and cherries, mingled with hints of pen ink, violets and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, dense and pure, with a rich chassis of sweet, integrated tannins, this is a serious, complete Margaux that's built for the cellar.
Wine Spectator - 95
Another beautifully rendered expression of the vintage, this marries lush boysenberry and blackberry fruit with fresh violet and iris notes, then stitches it all up gently with warm earth on the stylish, lengthy finish. It's hard to lay off already, but cellaring is warranted. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Vinous - 95
The 2022 Cantenac Brown was a stunner from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a vivacious bouquet highlighting blackberry, wild strawberry and cedar aromas, with hints of violet emerging over time. It shows wonderful delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, fruit that is a little blacker than its peers, gentle grip, nicely judged acidity and a very harmonious, persistent finish. This is a seductive, quite sensual Cantenac Brown worthy of their brand new winery. It’s superb.
