95 Vinous
José Sanfins has overseen a 2019 Cantenac Brown that will give immense pleasure in coming years. The bouquet has tightened up since I tasted the barrel sample (also at the château, in summer 2021): blackberry, raspberry and cedar are now accompanied by just a touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and a vibrant, harmonious finish. This Margaux brims with confidence and should give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure. The insiders' Margaux of choice.
95 James Suckling
This has subtle aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries with hints of just-picked violets, light vanilla, licorice and crushed stones. Forest-floor notes, too. Medium to full body, layers of firm tannins and a velvety mouth-feel. Delicious crushed berries on the palate. Compact with a firm finish. Better from 2026.

Shows the hallmarks of the vintage, with steeped plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit paste flavors that are broad and lush, while singed wood, violet and anise notes filter in. Features underlying freshness, with finely beaded acidity providing support. A step ahead. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2035. 9,583 cases made. — JM

Château Cantenac-Brown
Le peintre animalier écossais John Lewis Brown s’est porté acquéreur de ce vignoble au début du XIXe siècle et y a fait ériger un château de style Tudor. Bon vivant, il acquiert rapidement une réputation d’homme convivial grâce aux grandes fêtes qu'il organise dans cette demeure. En 1843, il a cédé le domaine à un banquier du nom de Gromard, toujours à sa tête en 1855 lorsque Cantenac Brown fut classé parmi les troisièmes crus classés du célèbre classement des vins du Médoc. Cent cinquante ans plus tard, la famille Simon Halabi a donné un nouvel élan au domaine, déterminée à le porter à un nouveau palier de reconnaissance. Les pratiques viticoles ont été modifiées en conséquence, le travail de la vigne est devenu beaucoup plus respectueux de l'environnement et les rendements sont maintenus au plus bas. Le retour à des pratiques plus naturelles à Cantenac Brown implique le labour, destiné à améliorer les propriétés physiques, chimiques et biologiques intrinsèques du vignoble.
