Notes : Guide Hachette , Jean-Marc Quarin 86/100
Brio is a Margaux offering great finesse and elegance, with a nose marked by freshness and aromas of very ripe red and black fruits, blackberry, raspberry, but also notes of blond tobacco and white pepper. A dense, aromatic wine on the palate, developing delicate nuances of fruit on a velvety attack, with a finish of jammy fruit, accompanied by hints of licorice and pepper. What a program!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2022 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

This cru has been bought by Simon Halabi, a lover of the Médoc's great wines, who is giving a motivated team, led by the very likeable and talented José Sanfins, the means to improve quality. The latest vintages have all been successful: wines that are rather full-bodied for margaux, but harmonious in their power. The second wine, brio, lacks a little panache, despite its name, but the estate produces a lovely Bordeaux appellation dry white, called alto.

About the wine:

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

About the domain :

Sponsored by an imposing neo-Tudor château built in the 19th c. by Scottish animal painter John Lewis Brown, this 48-hectare estate, planted on fine gravel in the heart of the appellation, has been given a new lease of life, first by the Axa group and, since 2006, by the Halabi family, who have entrusted its management to José Sanfins.

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

This handsome, imposing Margalais estate consistently produces top-quality wines worthy of its ranking. Its dynamic manager, José Sanfins, trained at the Cazes school and Axa Millésime, knows how to produce wines that are charming, but also deep and full-bodied (like the Alto white, produced in small quantities). A new owner, the Le Lous family, has even higher ambitions. A further 10 hectares were acquired in 2020, and major modernization work is planned for the production facilities. The cru is not resting on its laurels!
