This château, situated at the western boundary of the Margaux appellation with 62 ha under vine, was purchased by Tristan Le Lous and his family in 2019. They immediately embarked on a massive investment in a new 5000 m² eco-winery (first used with the 2023 vintage) built entirely of raw earth, guaranteeing thermal inertia and the perfect humidity for ageing thanks to the power of the earth, along with the acquisition of a further 9.5 ha of vines.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Specification

Producer

Château Cantenac Brown

This château has historically been overlooked as a source of top claret. That all changed back in 1989 when it was acquired by AXA Millésimes, also owners of Pichon Baron. Since then it has been on a constant upward trajectory and is now producing excellent wine with great consistency.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant and intense bouquet of fresh blackberry and stewed prune offers immediate intrigue, and the palate follows through with an impressive core of juicy black and red fruits, underlying liquorice and notes of cedar wood. Stylish and finely balanced this is an impressive wine that will provide very enjoyable early drinking.

Vinification

Harvested between 25th September and 12th October with a yield of 32hl/ha and 52% of the crop allocated to the Grand Vin. The vinification was carried out in 70 stainless steel tanks ranging in size from 50 – 120 hectolitres, followed by ageing in 60% new oak barrels.
