Why We're Buying
Juicy plums and wild berries make their presence known in Château Cantenac Brown. The Bordeaux red blend has a distinct muscularity and energy that are unique to Margaux. It is a testament to the estate's ability to capture the terroir and concisely distill it into this red wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cantenac Brown is another fine effort from a Margaux estate that's been on something of a roll of late. Unwinding in the glass with notions of cassis, wild berries, loamy soil and cigar box, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with good concentration, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. José Sanfins and his team opted to wait to pick the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon between the fourth and 12th of October, and that appears to have paid off. The blend is 73 Cabernet Sauvignon and 27 Merlot, and just over half the estate's production went into the grand vin. Barrel Sample: 92-94
