Château Cantenac Brown Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 2018

This is a powerful wine, but delivers a lilting elegance and freshness that runs through the ripples of blackberry and damson fruit. A flash of heat provides an echo of the heat of the summer, but this is a confident wine from an estate that is increasingly impressive. New owner Tristan le Lous arrived in late 2019, so for the final ageing and bottling of this vintage, working with long-time director José Sanfins. 60% new oak barrels.
