Château Cantenac Brown 2017 Margaux (75cl)

Cantenac Brown 2017 comes from Margaux, the left-bank appellation usually chosen for perfume and finesse rather than sheer weight. It is comfortable on a dinner table rather than locked in a cellar. It pairs well with roast lamb, beef or duck, and benefits from about an hour of decanting if drunk this year. Margaux blends usually lean floral and red-fruited, with violet, raspberry and cassis notes and tannins that typically feel finer and silkier than other left-bank villages.
