The Wine Advocate 90-93/100

"The 2012 Cantenac Brown, one of the most impressive Margaux I tasted, is the complete package – from the initial attack to the layered, rich finish. Dense ruby/purple-hued with notes of licorice, mulberries, black currants, asphalt and spring flowers, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, rich effort does not reveal an excess of rusticity or astringency. It should drink well for 10-15 years. This under-the-radar chateau never receives much attention even though it is the beneficiary of a new, conscientious proprietor."

Jane Anson 93/100

"High intensity, some purple - deep red, quite intense aromatically also, very much black spectrum cassis and fig, some good smoky bacon oak. Tiny bit sour on the mid palate but actually I quite like this, happy that they have gone for dark spectrum of fruits, and a very pleasing level of ripeness, just poised not pruney. Can definitely see the potential here. Needs to soften, one of the few that you feel is not an early drinker. 93 / 18. Highly recom mended. Drink 2023 - 2040."

Neal Martin (April 2013) 89-91/100

"Tasted from a barrel sample at en primeur. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the Cantenac Brown has plenty of blackcurrant and raspberry fruit on the nose with fine definition and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky, rigid tannins. It is quite a masculine, almost Saint Julien like Margaux but there is certainly respectable persistency on the peppery finish."
