Chateau Cantenac Brown 2013, Margaux (1x75cl)

Margaux is the left bank village people usually describe as the most perfumed and elegant rather than the biggest. With over ten years in bottle, that side tends to show more clearly.

Open it an hour ahead and pour gently — expect a little sediment. It suits lamb, duck, and dishes with more aroma than raw power.

Tasting notes

Aged Margaux typically shows red and dark berry fruit with violet and cedar aromatics, a finer tannin structure, and a dry, lingering finish.
