Brio de Cantenac-Brown, Margaux, 2019

Chateau Cantenac-Brown is a 1855 classified third growth, located in Cantenac within the most prestigious Médoc appellation, Margaux. This wine is thew second wine from the estate.

This is a powerful and luscious wine from the Margaux appellation. Textured and opulent, with rich red fruit and velvety chocolate bouquet that open generously on your palate. A sophisticated and stylish Margaux.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the esteemed animal painter of Scottish descent, John Lewis Brown, bought the vineyard. Designed by Brown in a traditional Tudor style, the château was host to the grand parties for which the owner was renowned.

The chateau was sold in 1843 to a banker (Gromard), the owner in 1855, when the estate was granted a Grand Cru classification.

150 years later the Simon Halabi family has given new impetus to the estate with the ambition of raising it to the highest echelons.

The vineyard covers 42 hectares (104 acres) and has the gravelly soils, typical of the Médoc area. The attractive white stones reflect the sun’s rays onto the fruit in daytime whilst at night they radiate the heat retained during the day.
