Château Cantenac Brown 2021 - primeur

Château Cantenac Brown is a Grand Cru ranked third in the 1855 Classification, located within the Margaux appellation. The chateau was founded over 200 years ago by a Scotsman, John Lewis Brown.

This visionary figure selected the best parcels of land: his hard work and high standards were rewarded in 1855 when the Bordeaux Classification ranked Cantenac Brown among the most esteemed.

A spectacular testimony to its Scottish ancestry, the estate’s emblematic Tudor-style château makes it the most remarkable property in the Médoc region.

Today, the Château is managed by the French Le Lous family. Tristan Le Lous, an agronomic engineer with a passion for oenology, together with José Sanfins (GM and winemaker), who is inextricably linked with the estate’s modern history.

Château Cantenac Brown, the soul of a great terroir, bright, fleshy and velvety wine. It stands out by its fresh fruit flavours, its density and its very fine tannins.

Brio de Cantenac Brown, a pleasurable wine for sharing, charming, delicate and brilliant.

And Alto, the White of Cantenac Brown, mineral, fresh and vibrant.

The 30 members of clan Cantenac Brown who bring the estate and its wines to life, from vine to cellar. Aware of the importance of preserving the estate’s lands, the team applies a certified environmental approach.

The 63 hectares of vineyard lie across Margaux and Cantenac plateaus. Composed of 65% of Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the diversity of terroirs offers a great richness to the blending process.

An amazing project will take shape for the 2023 harvest: the construction of a new eco-friendly cellar, entirely built in raw earth and wood. Designed by Philippe Madec, this project is based on the rammed earth process and raised up by what our century can offer us, while guaranteeing thermal inertia and the perfect humidity for maturation thanks to the power of the earth.
