Description

The 1982 Château Cantenac Brown is a standout wine from an iconic Bordeaux vintage, renowned for producing long-lived and richly textured wines. Coming from the Margaux appellation, this wine exemplifies the elegance and balance typical of the region while showcasing the warmth and ripeness of the 1982 vintage.

On the nose, this Cantenac Brown reveals mature aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dried cherry, accented by layers of cedar, leather, and earthy undertones. As it has aged, secondary notes of tobacco, truffle, and forest floor have developed, adding complexity and depth to the bouquet.

The palate is medium to full-bodied, displaying a fine balance between ripe fruit, soft tannins, and refreshing acidity. Black fruits like cassis and blackberry remain vibrant, supported by hints of spice, cocoa, and a subtle minerality. With a smooth and lingering finish, the wine has aged gracefully, maintaining structure while showcasing the softer, tertiary characteristics that mature Margaux wines are known for.

The 1982 Château Cantenac Brown is ideal for those who appreciate well-aged Bordeaux with depth and nuance. While it may be at or nearing its peak, it continues to offer a delightful experience, particularly when paired with classic French dishes like roasted lamb, beef, or mushroom risotto.
