The Story
Cantenac-Brown is a Margaux Third Growth from the 1855 classification, and 2019 was a milestone year: the last vintage under the estate's previous ownership before the Le Lous family took over. It's a classic left-bank blend, 68% Cabernet Sauvignon to 32% Merlot, aged in French oak. The 2019 vintage brings a fresh, lively profile to the estate's expressive, slightly extravagant style, with vivacious blackberry, raspberry, and cranberry lifted by cedar and a cigar-box perfume. Rich and juicy but well within the elegant Margaux frame. A benchmark classed-growth Bordeaux drinking beautifully.
