Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it combines classic Left Bank character with a distinctly polished modern style. The wine also comes from a château with a remarkable history, adding an extra layer of prestige to every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this wine is likely to show a deep ruby color with youthful intensity and refined purple highlights. The nose typically opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, followed by cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle spice, with oak adding further complexity.\n\nOn the palate, Château Cantenac Brown 2018 should be firm yet silky, with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of cassis, plum, and dark berry fruit. Expect a wine with impressive structure and balance, built to age gracefully over the next decade or longer, gaining further nuance with time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Cantenac Brown is situated in the heart of Margaux on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, where gravel-rich soils provide excellent drainage and encourage Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive. The estate’s vineyards cover 48 hectares and are planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, with an average vine age of around 35 years. The vineyards are farmed sustainably, using only plant-based fertilizers, and the grapes are harvested with careful selection before vinification under the direction of winemaker José Sanfins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs naturally with classic Bordeaux-friendly dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or game, as well as mushroom-based dishes and aged hard cheeses.

Decanting for one to two hours is recommended, especially if enjoyed young, to allow the wine to fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Cantenac Brown was established in the early 20th century by Scottish painter John Lewis Brown, who designed the château in a distinctive Tudor style that remains one of its most recognizable features. Over the years the estate has changed hands several times, including ownership by Rémy Martin and AXA, before being acquired by the Halabi family in 2006. Since then, significant investment and the appointment of José Sanfins have led to a notable rise in quality, reinforcing the château’s standing in Margaux and Bordeaux more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Cantenac Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122394734834,"sku":"FW-1296","price":81.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/7361.png?v=1777475842","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/chateau-cantenac-brown-2018","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
