Château Cantenac-Brown is a notable wine estate located in Margaux, on the left bank of the Gironde river in Bordeaux. It was established in the early 19th Century and was classified as a third growth in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc.
The nose is elegant, beautifully racy and offers deepness, a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as a small spicy side, complexity, delicacy and a beautiful stretchy side. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, small wild black fruits and small notes of violet plum associated with small touches of wild strawberry, quite ripe cherry, green pepper. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blackberry, juicy wild cassis and small notes of small dense black fruits associated with touches of dark chocolate, caramelization, cardamom, brazil pepper, very discreet hints of camphor, black tea, a subtle hint of vanilla, underwood and a very discreet hint of black tapenade (bitterness of black olive). Good length. Tannins are precise and elegant.
