Château Cantenac-Brown, Margaux Brio de Cantenac Brown 2019

Brio de Cantenac Brown is the elegant second wine of Château Cantenac-Brown, a renowned Margaux estate classified as a Troisième Cru in the 1855 Classification. The 2019 vintage combines the refined character of Margaux with generous fruit, remarkable freshness and silky tannins, making it an approachable introduction to the château’s style.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep, dark purple colour in the glass. On the nose, it offers an appealing blend of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by subtle tobacco and gently spiced oak notes. On the palate, Brio de Cantenac Brown is charming and polished, with impressive freshness, well-defined fruit and velvety tannins. Its balance and structure allow it to be enjoyed now, particularly after some aeration, while it should develop added softness and complexity over the next several years.

Production
The wine is produced in Margaux, an appellation celebrated for its gravel-rich terroirs and refined, aromatic red wines. Brio de Cantenac Brown is matured in a combination of 25% new oak barrels and 75% one-year-old oak barrels, giving the wine gentle notes of tobacco and spice while preserving its freshness and fruit-driven character. Specific details regarding harvesting methods and grape composition are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. It is a natural partner for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, grilled or roasted veal, duck and mushroom-based dishes. Mature hard cheeses also work well. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended when serving the wine young; older bottles generally require only careful pouring to avoid disturbing any sediment.
