Château Cantenac Brown Margaux is an 1855 classified third growth, located in Cantenac within one of the most prestigious Médoc appellation, Margaux.

Cantenac Brown is marked by the Cabernet Sauvignons of its exceptional terroirs, spread over the prestigious Margaux and Cantenac plateaus. These therefore instil its wines with depth and a very strong ageing potential.

Winemakers hand-harvested, manually sorted and de-stemmed the grapes. A pre-fermentation maceration took place for 15 to 20 days; followed by fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 29° to 30°C, lasting for two weeks. Malolactic fermentation took place in oak barrels and vats. The wine then aged in French oak barrels, of which 60% were new and 40% one year old, for a period of 15 to 18 months.

The soul of a great terroir, a radiant, full-bodied, velvety wine for keeping. It stands out by its fresh fruit flavours, its density and its very fine tannins. Its best vintages express freshness, an elegant bouquet of red and black fruits. They then display opulence and tension on the finish, and spicy undertones. The insiders’ Margaux of choice.

Grape varieties – 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot.

Ageing – 16 months in French oak barrels, 60% new oak barrels and 40% one-year-old oak barrels

Enjoy Château Cantenac Brown Margaux with roast meats or a juicy pan-fried steak.
