Cantenac-Brown 2015 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux wines, the Cantenac-Brown covers around 48 hectares and is planted with predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc. Cantenac Brown wines are known for their elegance, finesse, and aromatic complexity. "I love the fruit here, with puréed damson and deeply focussed, bitter dark chocolate. It has lovely grip and persistency, a wine that you want to take your time with and watch as it develops. It is poised and balanced, with lots of impact and well-extracted, not afraid to push things, but pulls back at the end. 60% new oak." Decanter, 2017
