Punteggi dei critici
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
John Lewis Brown, un pittore di animali originario della Scozia, acquistò questo vigneto all’inizio del XIX secolo e commissionò la costruzione di uno château in stile Tudor. Amante della bella vita, si guadagnò presto una buona fama grazie alla sua ospitalità e ai sontuosi ricevimenti. Nel 1843 cedette la proprietà a un banchiere di nome Gromard, che ne era ancora il proprietario quando fu inserita tra i troisième cru nella famosa classificazione dei vini Médoc del 1855. Centocinquant’anni dopo, fu la famiglia Simon Halabi a dare un vero impulso alla tenuta, con l’intenzione di portarla ai massimi livelli. Di conseguenza, anche i metodi di viticoltura sono cambiati e il lavoro nei filari è più rispettoso dell’ambiente, mantenendo basse le rese. Questo ritorno a pratiche più naturali comprende anche il dissodamento del terreno per valorizzare le proprietà biochimiche e fisiche intrinseche del vigneto.
