Tasting notes
The 2019 Brio de Cantenac Brown is a powerful, deep wine. A burst of succulent red cherry fruit, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco lends exuberance. This open-knit, inviting second wine will be a delight to drink over the next handful of years.

Smoked cedar, black fruits, touches of reduction make this subdued on the first nose. An enjoyable 2nd wine, to be enjoyed within a few years and for the next decade. This was the first vintage under new owner Tristan le Lous, with the same director José Sanfins.
