James Suckling: Extremely well made, with a solid core of fruit, fine tannins, precision and tension. The new winery is really showing its substance now. Long and persistent. One of the best wines I have had from here."

Vinum: Tiefgründig, mit Thymiankräutern über dunkler Beerenfrucht, dazu Hagebutten, rauchige und florale Noten, präsentes, nobles Barrique; am Gaumen von majestätischer Eleganz, knackig, saftig, präzis, die Tannine sind von höchster Güte, seidig mit der Frucht verwoben, dicht, strukturiert, voller Rasse und Energie; hervorragende Länge, frisches, salines Finale. Einmal mehr umwerfend gut."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Blackberries, black cherries, tobacco, flowers, cedar, cocoa, and leafy, minty herbs fill the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is lifted, fresh, juicy, and supple, with sweet, ripe, vibrant black fruits and cherries. The finish is round, lively, and juicy, with a hint of spice, leaving plenty to enjoy as the wine lingers on your palate. This is a move toward a more refined style of wine, which I really like. The wine blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. 13.4% ABV. Harvesting took place September 5 - September 22. Yields were low at 29 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2055."

Jane Anson: Beautifully knitted down, this has energy and character, classical, sculpted, this is very much what you want from great Left Bank classified, excellent quality, cassis and enrobed silky tannins, cappuccino. No sharp acidity here in any way, balanced with just the right amount of reserve. 2nd vintage in the new cellar since inauguration in 2024. José Sanfins director."

Decanter: Lovely fragranced perfume aromatics with such purity and focus, elements of sticky liquorice and graphite. Smooth and so well balanced, velvety and soft tannins with a touch of cool blueberry and wet stones that linger on the mouth. Ends really cool, stony and fresh. I love the construction and the overall texture. Everything in balance. I love the intensity here, you get layers and texture and fruit with such delicacy and detail. Really a great wine in the making and I love the slightly darker edge to the fruit with some herbal, minty and liquorice spice. It’s got a really long finish too, the flavours last and last. 65% grand vin, no malolactic in barrel, no vinification intégrale. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. A yield of 28hl/ha."

Saftig, rote Kirschen, finessenreich strukturiert, feine Tannine, mineralisch und anhaftend, lebendiger, trinkfreudiger Stil, bleibt haften, gutes Reifepotenzial."

Wine Advocate: A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Cantenac Brown unwinds in the glass with notes of crème de criss, pencil shavings and a deft touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave, with sweet, powdery tannins and a fleshy, enveloping profile, it's broad-shouldered but judiciously extracted."
