2018

Château Cantenac Brown 2018 is a Margaux-appellation Bordeaux blend anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon (69%), with supporting Merlot (28%) and Cabernet Franc (3%). The wine displays a medium-full body with balanced medium tannins and acidity, characteristic of the Left Bank's structured style.

On the nose and palate, ripe blackcurrant and plum dominate the primary layer, supported by secondary cedar and spice notes from oak aging. Tertiary development reveals tobacco and leather complexity, with subtle minerality reflecting the terroir. The wine's food-friendly profile suits grilled red meat, lamb, braised beef, and aged hard cheeses; the cedar and spice notes complement herb-forward preparations, while tertiary tobacco and leather suggest pairing with earthy mushroom dishes.
