2025 Chateau Cantenac Brown
Extremely well made, with a solid core of fruit, fine tannins, precision and tension. The new winery is really showing its substance now. Long and persistent. One of the best wines I have had from here. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-21-2026
The 2025 Cantenac Brown is quite the powerhouse. Dark and ample in feel, the 2025 offers gorgeous presence and class to burn. Crème de cassis, new leather, lavender, menthol, licorice and mocha are some of the many notes that open with a bit of coaxing. There's tremendous substance and stuffing here. The tannins are quite fine, which is especially remarkable considering the wine's intense fruit. ~ (96) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-28-2026
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Cantenac Brown unwinds in the glass with notes of crème de criss, pencil shavings and a deft touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave, with sweet, powdery tannins and a fleshy, enveloping profile, it's broad-shouldered but judiciously extracted. ~ (95) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-30-2026
Beautifully knitted down, this has energy and character, classical, sculpted, this is very much what you want from great Left Bank classified, excellent quality, cassis and enrobed silky tannins, cappuccino. No sharp acidity here in any way, balanced with just the right amount of reserve. 2nd vintage in the new cellar since inauguration in 2024. José Sanfins director. ~ (95) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-15-2026
Deep purple hue. Dark and a little subdued on the nose. Attractive texture and tannins, the structure and drive evident. Just misses a touch of Margaux elegance. ~ (16) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-17-2026
The 2025 Cantenac Brown has a lovely lift on the nose, with brambly black fruit, crushed stone and a light iris flower scent, not as intense as the Brane-Cantenac but cut from a similar cloth. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine, lacelike tannins. This Margaux is all about purity, lightly spiced, with a gentle grip on the finish. This is a classy, sophisticated Cantenac Brown. ~ (95) Neal Martin, Vinous 5-7-2026
