Château Cantenac Brown

This château has historically been overlooked as a source of top claret. That all changed back in 1989 when it was acquired by AXA Millésimes, also owners of Pichon Baron. Since then it has been on a constant upward trajectory and is now producing excellent wine with great consistency.

Moody and alluring deep garnet colour. Bouquet of red fruit, namely cherry and strawberry with a hint of red and blackcurrant. On the palate velvety dark chocolate and vanilla balance the fresh fruit. Tannins are impeccably integrated for a full bodied, complex and opulent Margaux.

Drink with a seared beef tenderloin or a umami rich mushroom risotto.

Aged in French oak barrels, 25% new and 75% one year old. The vines are 35 years old on average. Château Cantenac Brown use a double guyot method to prune. Vine density ranges from 8,500 to 10,000 stocks per hectare and yields 4,500 litres per hectare.
