Château Cantenac Brown is without doubt one of the most original buildings in the
Médoc. John-Lewis Brown bought the vineyard in Cantenac at the beginning of the
19th century and built a traditional Tudor style château reminiscent of his Scottish
origins. The estate quickly passed out of his family but his name will be forever linked
to the château. Today Cantenac Brown has 42 hectares of sustainably cultivated
vineyard located in the heart of the Margaux appellation, principally in the southern
commune of Cantenac. The Cantenac Brown terroir is made up of gravel which
ensures good drainage and Cabernets in particular do well in this soil; producing
fine wines with intense bouquets which are suitable for ageing.

Description
The soul of a great terroir, a radiant, full-bodied, velvety wine for keeping. It stands out by its fresh fruit flavours, its density and its very fine tannins. Its best vintages express freshness, an elegant bouquet of red and black fruits, with opulence and tension on the finish, and spicy undertones.Details
