  • Neal Martin, April 2015, Score: 91-93

    The Château Cantenac Brown 2014 is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. It has a feisty nose compared to its mild-mannered Margaux neighbors: perfumed dark cherries dallying with incense and iris. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, moderate depth of fruit, a little grippy with some lovely tarry notes developing towards the finish that has more substance than intimated by the aromatics. It needs to flesh out during élevage, but presuming it does, this could be a spicy Margaux that will give 15 to 20 years of pleasure.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2015, Score: 91-94

    The 2014 Cantenac Brown is very pretty. A model of total understatement, the 2014 stands out for its terrific overall balance. All the elements are in the right place. Sweet red stone fruit, iron, tobacco and cedar are woven into the silky, exquisitely layered finish.

  • James Suckling, March 2015, Score: 92-93

    A silky red with fine tannins and a beautiful core of ripe fruit. Medium to full body, fine tannins. Polished already.

  • Decanter, April 2015, Score: 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. Drink: 2018-2028

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2015, Score: 16.5

    Dark crimson. Floral nose. Quite delicate and full of elderberry flavour. Quite chunky tannins. Solid stuff. Tannins dominate at the moment and may always be a little heavy for the fruit. Drink 2022-2032

  • Wine Spectator, March 2015, Score: 90-93

    Very refined, featuring alluring currant and blackberry fruit that glides along the supple structure, with iron and light espresso hints filling in on the finish.

Producer

Château Cantenac Brown

For years, Château Cantenac Brown was known for producing powerful, structured Margaux. However since the late 1980s when AXA purchased the estate, Cantenac Brown has worked towards a softer, more discrete style.

Region

Margaux

Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
