"A gourmet success!
"Only 19 hl/ha were harvested after hail and mildew, but Château Brown did an excellent job with what it had. There's a little heat on the attack, but the concentrated fruit and silky texture absorb it. Notes of dark chocolate and licorice come through on the mid-palate. An exuberant wine, of good quality, with intensity and concentration, and simply extremely seductive.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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.

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 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.

About the wine:
Quite a ripe nose, with blackcurrant and blackberry notes, and aromas of coffee still present from the ageing process. Gourmet and suave on the palate, with abundant but ripe tannins. Between 2020 and 2040 and ideally between 2026 and 2031.
