Chateau Cantenac Brown Margaux 3. Cru Classé 2014 i trækasse

"94 points. The wine is getting better each vintage" - Wine Enthusiast

Cantenac-Brown er berømt for sin bizarre slotsbygning, som den skotske maler John Lewis Brown bygede i traditionel Tudorstil. Slottet har navn efter samme Brown og efter sin hjemkommune. Rent vinmæssigt var Cantenac Brown frem til 1990 ikke Cru Classé værdig. Siden har investeringslystne AXA Millésimes og fra 2006 den nuværende ejer, familien Simon Halabi, løftet kvaliteten år for år. 

Beplantningstætheden på hele 10.000 planter pr. ha. giver færre, mindre og mere smagsintense druer, som teknisk direktør Jose Sanfins med dygtighed formår at omsætte til vin og ratings i absolut verdensklasse.

Ved køb af 12 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Anmeldelser af Château Cantenac Brown Margaux 3. Cru Classé 2014

94/100 Wine Enthusiast
"The impressive Victorian baronial chateau of Cantenac Brown is one of the landmarks of Margaux. The wine is getting better each vintage. This is ripe and generous, full of freshly minted tannins and layers of wood over the ripe berry fruit." 

94/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"It has lost none of its complexity, on the contrary, the wine has an undeniable charm and precise and distinguished tannins. Very balanced."

93/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of chocolate, vanilla and currants follow through to a full body, tight tannins and a reserved finish."

93/100 Falstaff
"Some wood, smoky, blueberries and cassis, also greenish-leaf, mint, nettle, finally also slightly rap. Firm, concentrated on the palate, with fleshy tannins, with core and juice, good freshness, balancing green tones, but undoubtedly with development prospects due to the density and substance present."

93/100 Vinum
"Particularly fleshy, juicy, pleasing wine, dense and long, excellently made."

93/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
"The nose is gourmand, fruity, elegant and fine. It reveals fine notes of minerality, blackberry and a touch of redcurrant associated with slight hints of cherry, wild strawberries, discreet hints of cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, a few delicate oaky hints as well as a very discreet hint of strawberry, Bourbon vanilla and menthol. The mouth is fruity (focus on the fruit), fresh, ample, beautifully defined and offers a fine acid frame (in the background), a nice fat as well as a nice silky matter. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis juice and fine notes of fleshy plum, red fruits (raspberry, strawberry) combined with hints of oak, a discreet note of chocolate / mocha as well as discreet hints of cardamom, mint and sweet spices. Tannins are fine, structuring and slightly firm. Good length. There are (very) slight iodized hints on the finish. The retro is beautifully suave."

92/100 Vinous - Neal Martin
"The 2014 Cantenac Brown has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, cedar, crushed violet and cold stone aromas. I love the detail and focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, supple and almost velvety in texture, the acidity well judged with a rounded, lightly spiced finish that feels so tender, yet does not shortchange you on persistence. This is one of the best Cantenac-Brown wines that I have encountered in recent years. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting."

92/100 Antonio Galloni
"The 2014 Cantenac Brown is a sexy, plush wine. Showing more ripeness as well as more new oak than it did en primeur, the 2014 is a decidedly racy, open-knit Margaux. It is supple and inviting, and will drink well with minimal cellaring."

92/100 Robert Parker 
"The 2014 Cantenac Brown has a backward nose at first, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and tobacco, an attractive pastille-like scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more extraction than its peers. It feels fleshy and pure, notes of raspberry coulis, confit fruit, orange rind and tobacco towards the well-structured, delicately spiced finish. It makes you want to come back for another sip—always a good sign! A bottle tasted six months later in February 2017 demonstrated a little more cohesion and finesse, suggesting that this Margaux will meliorate with bottle age. One to watch out for."

92/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Soft textured, with a generous blast of sweet, ripe, black cherry, dark chocolate, espresso and wet earth, the wine has charm, character and backbone to age, yet, drink well relatively early."
