Notes: From the Hachette Wine Guide, Jean-Marc Quarin 86/100
Brio is a Margaux that offers great finesse and elegance, with a nose characterized by freshness and aromas of very ripe red and black fruits—blackberry and raspberry—as well as notes of blond tobacco and white pepper. A dense and aromatic wine on the palate, developing delicate fruit nuances on a velvety attack, with a finish featuring notes of jammy fruit, accompanied by hints of licorice and pepper. Quite the experience!

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

This estate was acquired by Simon Halabi, a lover of fine Médoc wines, who has provided a motivated team—led by the very friendly and talented José Sanfins—with the resources to improve quality. The most recent vintages have all been successful: wines that are rather full-bodied for Margaux but harmonious in their power. The second wine, Brio, lacks a bit of panache, despite its name, but the estate produces a lovely dry white wine under the Bordeaux appellation, called Alto.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Fresh and supple, the second wine, Brio de Cantenac Brown 2007, is mentioned.

About the estate:

Dominated by an imposing Neo-Tudor-style castle built in the 19th century by the Scottish wildlife painter John Lewis Brown, this 48-hectare estate, planted on beautiful gravel soils in the heart of the appellation, has enjoyed a renaissance—first thanks to the Axa Group and, since 2006, under the leadership of the Halabi family, who entrusted its management to José Sanfins.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

This beautiful and imposing Margaux estate consistently produces high-quality wines worthy of its classification. Its dynamic director, José Sanfins—who trained at the Cazes and Axa Millésime schools—knows how to craft wines that are charming, yet also deep and rich (as exemplified by the white Alto, produced in small quantities). A new owner, the Le Lous family, has even higher ambitions. An additional 10 hectares were acquired in 2020, and major modernization work on the production facilities is planned. This estate is not resting on its laurels!
