12: Mattes, mitteldunkles Rot. Duftet wie dunkel gebackener Blätterteig, Tornister, wirkt so etwas dumpf, dahinter Herbstpilze, Bakelit, wirkt ziemlich trocken im Ansatz. Im Gaumen rustikal, verlangend, eine knöcherne Adstringenz zeigend, im Innern etwas bitter aber auch charaktervoll. Ein sehr bourgeoiser Grand-Cru. Wenn man den Grand Cru überhaupt schreiben soll. Da half auch die Magnum nicht viel weiter. austrinken

This wine is typical of so many efforts of Cantenac-Brown. It started off life formidably tannic, with meager levels of fruit quality. Thirteen years of cellaring have not been kind to this wine, which has lost what little fruit it once possessed. The color is a murky ruby/garnet, and the nose offers up earthy, old cellar, damp cardboard aromas. Some fruit is noticeable in the attack, but the wine quickly dries out to reveal severe tannin and an unpleasant astringency. It has no place to go but down . Despite the enormous investment in this chateau over recent years, I am not sure recent vintages of this wine are any better. What does that say about terroir? Tasted 4 times since bottling with consistent notes.

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.
