Merchant's description

Cantenac Brown is a distinguished wine estate located in the Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. Classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux wines, the estate 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. Their Grand Vin typically exhibits notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, along with hints of cedar, tobacco, and spice. Cantenac Brown 2020 is still quite young, and it would benefit from some cellaring.
