Château Cantenac Brown
Château Cantenac Brown is a vineyard in the Bordeaux region whose origins date back to the early 19th century, when John Lewis Brown bought the vineyard and chose to build a château in the English Renaissance (Tudor) style, reminding him of his Scottish origins. In 2019, the Le Lous family took over the reins of the Château. José Sanfins leads this new project, and major investments are made to bring a bold, contemporary vision to viticulture.
Château Cantenac Brown 's vineyard management has become more respectful of the environment: "lutte raisonnée" is now fully practiced.

The surface area of the Cantenac Brown vineyard is 48 hectares, planted on the gravelly soil typical of the Margaux appellation. The grape varieties are 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, producing fine wines with an intense bouquet, ideal for ageing, and 30% Merlot, providing color, richness and roundness.

"Given its quality, this wine is still too little known and deserves a closer look! ~ Wine Advocate "

"The bouquet of Cantenac Brown is so intense. It is exceptionally precise and complex. It reveals multiple fruity nuances inspired by blueberries, blackberries, peppermint and licorice. And finally, refreshing hints of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine stands out for its density and freshness. The tannins give it fullness, while the acid structure ensures a lively, chiselled and precise finish. What harmony, vigor and future in this wine. It's exceptional and certainly one of the greatest Cantenac Browns produced... and one of the greatest I've ever tasted" (Yves Beck 2021) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"The 2018 BriO de Cantenac Brown is dark, fleshy and enveloping. Black cherry, chocolate, spice, leather, espresso and tobacco rush out of the glass in a sumptuous, exotically ripe second wine from Cantenac Brown. Juicy and supple, the 2018 BriO will drink beautifully right from the start."

With a clay-limestone parcel ideally suited to the production of a great white wine, Château Cantenac-Brown decided in 2011 to produce AltO. This gourmet wine is crafted in a straightforward, mineral and aromatic style. An elegant, refined cuvée that fits perfectly into the Château's range.

Cité Hachette

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!
