Chateau Cantenac Brown Margaux Grand Cru Classé
Region/Grade: France / Bordeaux / Margaux/Grand Cru Classé
Chateau Cantenac-Brown is located in the village of Margaux on the left bank of Bordeaux, adjacent to Chateau Margaux. It was listed as a third growth in the 1855 Médoc classification. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Scottish painter John-Lewis Brown, who was also a wine lover and the owner of the estate, added his name to the manor and built a Tudor-style mansion. The wine style is exactly the same as the building: elegant and refined. The winery was then managed by M. Gromard and Louis Armand Lalande, the owner of Chateau Leoville Poyferre.

He is confident in the terroir and wine quality of Cantenac-Brown, "Cantenac Brown is one of the jewels of the Médoc, I have a lot of ambition for this grand cru estate”.

The impressive Victorian baronial chateau of Cantenac Brown is one of the landmarks of Margaux. The wine is getting better each vintage. This is ripe and generous, full of freshly minted tannins and layers of wood over the ripe berry fruit.
James Suckling 93
Aromas of chocolate, vanilla and currants follow through to a full body, tight tannins and a reserved finish.
Falstaff 93
Etwas Holz, rauchig, Blaubeere und Cassis, auch grünlich-blättrig, Minze, Brennnessel, schließlich auch leicht rappig. Am Gaumen straff, gebündelt, mit fleischigem Gerbstoff, mit Kern und Saft, gute Frische, entlang von Grüntönen balancierend, aber durch die vorhandene Dichte und Substanz zweifellos mit Entwicklungsperspektive.
Tim Atkin MW 93
Even by the aromatic standards of Margaux, this is a very perfumed blend. Deeply coloured, charming and succulent with very polished tannins and oak handling and sweet cassis, plum and graphite notes. Classy winemaking from an under-rated château.
Wine Advocate 92
The 2014 Cantenac Brown has a backward nose at first, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and tobacco, an attractive pastille-like scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more extraction than its peers. It feels fleshy and pure, notes of raspberry coulis, confit fruit, orange rind and tobacco towards the well-structured, delicately spiced finish. It makes you want to come back for another sip—always a good sign!
Vinous 91
The 2014 Cantenac Brown has a light bouguet with brown spices infusing the black fruit, leather and mint. Fullymature. The palate is medium.bodied with pliant tannins, fresh with pleasing tension and spiciness towards thefinish. This is certainly worth checking out - drinking well now.
Wine Spectator 91
Fleshy in feel but restrained in profile, as the plum, blackberry and black currant confiture notes glide in easily, carried by a light espresso edge and backed by a stylish black tea detail. A light echo of warm stone keeps this honest.
Decanter 90
Good Merlot-Cabernet nose whereas the palate is more elegant than usual with nice supple length and even some charm. Will open early but also keep.
