Owner's words
Merlot, harvested in a variable climate, stood out for its finesse and aromatic freshness. As for the Cabernet Sauvignon, it benefited from optimal sunshine in October, bringing structure, concentration, and depth from elegant tannins. This year, Petit Verdot was included in the blend, adding a touch of originality and complexity to the overall balance of the vintage. Château Cantenac Brown 2024 ... a bright, fleshy, velvety wine.
