Cantenac Brown har fra og med årgang 2015 sat en tyk streg under, at de kvalitetsmæssigt igen er blandt toppen i Margaux! 

Slottet er klassificeret som en 3. Cru Classé og råder over 62 hektar, hvoraf de 57 hektar, som har en jordbund bestående af grus, sand og kalksten, er tilplantet med vin.

Vinstokkenes gennemsnitlige alder er 35 år med ca. 60 år som det ældste. Ejendommen drives så bæredygtigt som muligt, hvilket bl.a. betyder, at der kun anvendes plantebaseret gødning.

Alle markparceller plukkes og vinificeres separat i 28 store temperaturkontrollerede ståltanke. Den malolaktiske gæring sker delvis på stål og delvis på egefade. Herefter lagres vinen i 12-15 måneder på egefade, hvoraf 60% er nye.

94 point, Decanter: 

"Gorgeous fragrance and florality on the nose with ripe and perfumed black fruit and some peony touches. Smooth and supple, nicely weighted with lovely finesse and concentration to the fruit - blackcurrant, cherry and raspberry - with really juicy acidity. A lovely almost creamy aspect to the texture with just grippy and spiced tannins towards the finish. Nice aspect of oak throughout showing the ageing potential. I like this a lot, well formed, well delivered. Easy to enjoy with tons of personality."

92-94 point, The Wine Advocate: 

"The 2021 Cantenac Brown is another fine effort from a Margaux estate that's been on something of a roll of late. Unwinding in the glass with notions of cassis, wild berries, loamy soil and cigar box, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with good concentration, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. José Sanfins and his team opted to wait to pick the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon between the fourth and 12th of October, and that appears to have paid off. The blend is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, and just over half the estate's production went into the grand vin."

93 point, James Suckling: 

"Dark chocolate, hazelnuts, tea leaves, herbs and dark berry fruit on the nose. It’s precise and focused, with tight, firm tannins that provide an elegant but solid structure. Sleek and long. 73% cabernet sauvignon and 27% merlot. Try from 2026."
