From the first pumping over on, our feeling is confirmed: the colours would be unbelievably deep, berries flavours are all around the cellar. We deeply enjoy each single step of the 2009 vintage, from the choice of which parcel to harvest to each single decision for the plots vinification. The creation of the ideal blend of Château Cantenac Brown and BriO, our second label, is a real pleasure. All the difficulty will have been to create a "Bordeaux". Indeed degrees are high but fortunately this vintage has also lots of freshness. Tannins are intense and the lots will create round and fine wines, very balanced. Mother Nature gave us everything: 2009 vintage is definitely exceptional, it is a great Bordeaux.
