Dark, polished fruit rolls through the glass in the 2016 Chateau Cantenac Brown, with layers of blackcurrant, plum and boysenberry wrapped in cool graphite, cocoa and a gentle herbal lift. The palate is sleek yet powerful, carried by finely etched tannins and lively acidity that give this Margaux a sense of precision and energy rather than sheer weight. It’s a confident, modern take on the appellation that still keeps plenty of classic flair in reserve for the years ahead.

Château Cantenac Brown is the 1855-classified Grand Cru Classé red “grand vin” of this Margaux estate, typically based on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak. Sourced from gravel-rich, well‑drained left‑bank terroirs and farmed with a focus on sustainable viticulture, it is known for a dense yet velvety, full-bodied style that marries ripe red and black fruit, spice and floral notes with fine tannins, tension, and strong aging potential.
