William Kelly zum Chateau Cantenac Brown 2021 Margaux (April 2022):
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 Punkte
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cantenac Brown 2021 Margaux im Mai 2022:
Er lobt die Cabernet Characteristik die in diesem Jahrgang sehr klar wahrzunehmen ist. Er empfindet den Wein als vielversprechend mit dem noch nötigen Ausbau.
The Wine Cellar Insider (Jeff Leve) : 92-94 / 100
Flowers, espresso, cocoa and black currants are what you find on the nose. The wine is soft, round and polished on the medium/full-bodied palate, finishing with more of that dark cocoa, roasted coffee, black cherry and a hit of peppery spice on the backend. Drink from The wine is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot. 13.2% ABV, 3.75 pH. The harvest took place September 23-October 4. Drink from 2024-2032.
James Suckling (Mai 2022):
A firm and chewy red with notes of currants, bark, tea leaves and walnut husk. Medium-bodied, firm, ripe and compact. Pretty, clear fruit. Blackcurrants. 73% cabernet sauvignon and 27% merlot.
