Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Lovely, rich and exuberant nose, offering particularly ripe and expressive fruit, vanilla and mineral notes, generous, full and deep palate, with lots of fat and flavor, persistent aromas and vivacity. In the rich, flattering style.
About the domain :
This estate, named after a Scottish wine merchant, was taken over by the Mau family in 2005, in association with the Dutch Dirkzwager. A passionate winegrower, Jean-Christophe Mau devotes a great deal of energy to it, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt for the reds and Philippe Dulong for the whites. The wines are just right, fruity, harmonious and well-balanced. The whites are irreproachable, precise and pure. The reds are of a very high standard, with an assertive Leognan character. The cru is one of the appellation's leaders.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2015 guide) 90-92/100 (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
Château Brown blanc 2014 has a very well-defined bouquet of lime syrup and gooseberry, with peach notes revealing themselves on aeration. The palate is crisp and fresh, this lime syrup note continuing with lovely acidity and a lively finish.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
The 2014 displays a higher level of acidity in a lemony, pleasantly woody register.
About the domain :
This property, bought in 2005 by the Mau and Dirkzwager families, is now managed by Jean-Christophe Mau. He has carried out in-depth work on this terroir, which borders on the Château Olivier classified growth. Recent vintages have reached an excellent level, in a classic but full-bodied style that always favors fine tannins and fresh fruit.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16.5/20
About the wine:
Lovely aromas of tangy lemon curd, with just a hint of grapefruit, cedar and vanilla. A light, subtly tannic envelope on the palate, bringing a slightly chalky texture. Fresh, full of citrus, the wood is really well integrated and the acidity balancing. Impressive length.
