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. ~92-94 WA
The 2021 Cantenac Brown is going to require time to come together. The Cabernet is pushed up. That very much comes through in the wines' aromatic profile and overall intensity. Sweet red-fleshed fruit, tobacco, incense, and rose petal are some of the many notes that build. Vibrant and exquisitely layered, Cantenac Brown is quite promising. Elevage will be critical. Like so many of his colleagues, Technical Director Jose Sanfins saigneed the Merlots, lightly chaptalized the Cabernets, and opted for longer but gentler extractions. Tasted two times. ~92-94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
