chateau cantenac brown margaux 2021 750ml

VINTAGE 2021 NOTES:
The first vats are very aromatic, with notable hints of raspberry. The Merlots are softer than usual and the Cabernets more concentrated. The blend of the two varietals should give a round and full-bodied wine, with fine and elegant tannins. Typically, Bordeaux. The blend confirms our choice. Very good conditions also came together for the harvest of the whites. The balance is excellent between acidity and roundness.

• 73% Cabernet Sauvignon
• 27% Merlot

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

"The 2021 Cantenac Brown has turned out very nicely in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of menthol, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with a layered core of fruit, sweet tannins and nicely integrated acids, it concludes with a delicately vanillin-inflected finish. This strong performance in a challenging season underlines this property's upward trajectory." 93 POINTS (RobertParker.com)
