Brio de Cantenac Brown Magnum 2007, Margaux

Château Cantenac Brown was founded by Scotsman John-Lewis Brown over 200 years ago. The estate’s stunning Tudor-style castle isn’t typically French – but its wines have long been celebrated as part of the fabric of Margaux. It was awarded third-growth status in the legendary 1855 classification – and it’s gone from strength to strength since. This is the estate’s second wine, renowned for incredible flavour and value since it was first produced in 2001. Expect smooth tannins and a fresh acidity, with ripe red-fruit flavours and spicy hints, followed by savoury tones and forest floor – ideal with roast meats.
