Château Cantenac Brown 2006, Margaux

Château Cantenac Brown was founded by Scotsman John-Lewis Brown over 200 years ago. It was recognised as a 3rd Grand Cru Classé in the legendary 1855 classification of Bordeaux and is still one of the most beautiful estates in Bordeaux. But there’s more to this estate than its Tudor-style exterior. This exceptional vintage signals the beginning of its winemaking renaissance. And it’s aged superbly. It’s full-bodied and slightly savoury, with notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar and leather. Try it with roast leg of lamb and gratin dauphinoise.
