Château Cantenac Brown is a Troisièmes Cru, or 3rd Growth, in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux. The Château is in the commune of Margaux on the left bank of the Gironde Estuary. It was founded by a Scotsman, John Lewis-Brown who purchased the vineyards in the early 19th century. Today the estate is sustainably farmed and the utmost care and attention to detail is observed in all aspects of the vineyard and the cellar.
The wines of Château Cantenac Brown are very perfumed and elegant, displaying beautiful aromas of black cherry, cassis and oak with lots of energy and freshness in their youth. On the palate these wines always display a fruit forward pleasure to them but with a tight acidity and mineral complexity. Pair this wine with duck or goose served with braised red cabbage and chestnuts.

The 2021 Cantenac Brown is superb. Rich and flashy, with tons of persistence, the 2021 is a wine of notable depth. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather and mocha are all amplified. Readers will find a Cantenac Brown endowed with notable textural richness. Estate Manager Jose Sanfins opted to bleed the musts, and that resulted in an unusually opulent wine for the year-very much in line with the house style. The 2021 is drop-dead gorgeous.
Wine Spectator

A pretty wine, with silky-edged black cherry and violet notes that glide through nicely, laced with black tea and a subtle savory edge. This shows enough energy to offset the vintage's austere edge. Well done. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2032.

Both red and black fruits, chocolate, and some leafy herb notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Cantenac Brown, a nicely textured, medium-bodied, plump, rounded 2021 with good concentration and depth. It's not the most elegant Margaux out there, but I love the overall balance as well as its level of fruit and texture. It should keep for 10-12 years, if not longer. The blend is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, aged 16 months in 60% new oak.
