Tasting note
Notes of sweet berries, plums and licorice introduce the 2021 Brio de Cantenac Brown, a medium-bodied, ample and charming wine that's supple and delicate. José Sanfins opted to sell some lots in bulk this year, to improve the quality of the Brio, and the result is a pretty, cleanly made, Merlot-dominant cuvée that will drink well young.
"We've never had so many people put in so many man-hours in the vineyard," observed José Sanfins, who has directed this Margaux château since 1989. Deleafing right after flowering, a green harvest of fruit that was likely to be tardy to ripen, and then taking the risk to wait to harvest the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon late were, in Sanfin's eyes, the key to the vintage; and the results in the glass are persuasive. The grand vin itself incorporates an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as fully 10% of carefully selected press wine, and it's very impressive. It's likely to number among the sleepers of the vintage, as has often been the case in recent years.
