Cantenac Brown - Margaux 2015
Cantenac Brown 2015: Launch of an Exclusive and very limited “Terre & Temps” Edition !
Château Cantenac Brown, Grand Cru Classé 1855, unveils a creation as rare as it is refined: a screen-printed double magnum of its 2015 vintage, released in an ultra-limited edition of just 100 individually numbered bottles.
The name first – the “Terre & Temps Collection”. Two words that embody the soul of the estate: “Terre”, the Margaux soil, birthplace of fine wines and foundation of the estate’s innovative raw-earth cellar, inaugurated in 2023; and “Temps”, time – a vital ally to the vines, the vintages, and the people behind them.
Then, the wine. This exceptional cuvée is crafted for true wine connoisseurs and collectors. Each bottle, signed and individually numbered, is housed in a bespoke case inspired by the raw-earth and natural wood architecture of the estate’s cellar. The deep red hue of the box, echoing the three iconic soil layers of the property, reflects both the richness of Margaux’s terroir and the contemporary identity of this limited edition. The bottle itself features an elegant gold screen print – a refined tribute to the Château Cantenac Brown label. Drawing inspiration from the estate’s neo-Tudor architecture, it blends clean lines with symbolic motifs, giving each double magnum a unique, collector-worthy character.
Why the 2015 vintage?
Because 2015 offered Margaux near-perfect growing conditions: a dry spring encouraging even flowering, followed by a warm, sunlit summer with timely, refreshing rains in August. The result is a wine of remarkable elegance – silky in texture, with layered notes of dark fruits, sweet spices and cedar, lifted by a long, distinguished finish.
The double magnum format was a natural choice. This 3-litre bottle, prized by collectors, enhances the wine’s ageing potential. It allows for slow, graceful maturation, preserving freshness while deepening aromatic complexity over time.
