17 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dunkles Violett-Rubin. Elegantes, würziges Bouquet, Kandissüsse, Schwarztee, Heidelbeeren, noch nie war ein Cantenac-Brown so schwarzbeerig in der Nase. Im Gaumen fest, stoffig, enorm konzentriert, zeigt Fleisch und eine recht feine Adstringenz, im Innern des Extraktes leicht kernig, aromatischer Nachhall. Scheint aber viel Reserven zu haben. Kann vielleicht noch zulegen. trinken (2010 - 2022)

Blackberry and light mineral follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a caressing finish. Best after 2010. 11,665 cases made. –JS .

This stern, hard Margaux exhibits a nicely saturated ruby/purple color, but an absence of fruit as well as an angular personality with austere tannin suggest it will become increasingly desiccated with age. It is a far cry from the fabulous effort made by the new proprietor in 2006.

Château Cantenac-Brown
John Lewis Brown, an animal painter from Scotland, purchased this vineyard in the early 19th century and commissioned the construction of a Tudor-style château. A bon vivant, he soon acquired a reputation for hospitality thanks to the brilliant celebrations he hosted at his château. He sold the estate in 1843 to a banker named Gromard who was the owner in 1855 when Cantenac Brown was included among the third growths in the famous classification of Médoc wines. One hundred fifty years later, the Simon Halabi family have given a new impetus to the estate, which they are determined to raise to the very highest level. Winegrowing methods have been changed accordingly. Work in the vineyard has become much more respectful of the environment and yields are kept quite low. A return to more natural practices at Cantenac Brown includes ploughing to enhance the vineyard's intrinsic physical, chemical, and biological properties.
