CHATEAU CANTENAC BROWN RED WINE MARGAUX FRANCE 2012 Additive Free redcurrantSilky, seductive and polished are the words that characterize the best wines from Margaux, the most inland appellation of the Mdoc on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Margauxs gravel soils are the thinnest of the Mdoc, making them most penetrable by vine rootssome reaching down over 23 feet for water. The best sites are said to be on gentle outcrops, or croupes, where more gravel facilitates good drainage.
