Château Cantenac Brown, Grand Cru Classé in 1855, unveils a rare and prestigious creation: a screen-printed double magnum of its 2015 vintage, produced in a limited edition of only 100 numbered bottles.
The “Time and Earth” collection. Two words that embody the spirit of the estate: the land of Margaux, the source of great wines and the foundation of the first raw earth cellar inaugurated in 2023; and time, the patient ally of vines, vintages and men.
A time carried by José Sanfins and the Cantenac Brown team, who are writing the history of the château, and a time that has been eagerly awaited for ten years before this great wine is presented on the market.
An exceptional vintage, an exceptional format
The year 2015 offered Margaux ideal climatic conditions: a dry spring favouring uniform flowering, followed by a hot and sunny summer, punctuated by welcome rains in August. The result is a wine of great elegance, with a silky structure, complex notes of black fruit, sweet spices and cedar, and a long, racy finish.
The choice of a double magnum was obvious: this 3-litre format, highly appreciated by collectors, maximises the wine’s ageing potential. It allows for slow and harmonious ageing, preserving freshness while enriching its aromatic complexity.
A limited edition work of art
The gold screen print, echoing the label and inspired by the château’s neo-Tudor architecture, combines clean lines and symbols of the estate. Each bottle, numbered and signed, is presented in a custom-made raw wood box, marked with the château’s seal and decorated with the three wine-coloured stripes that also adorn the walls of the raw earth cellar.
A sustainable and innovative vision
This launch is in line with the estate’s philosophy: transmission, respect for biodiversity and sustainable viticulture. The inauguration of the first raw earth cellar in 2023 illustrates this desire to combine heritage and innovation.
Selective distribution
The screen-printed double magnum of the 2015 vintage will be available:
- in a selected network of partner wine merchants and distributors in France and internationally
