Description
The density and richness of a Margaux Grand Cru Classé
The estate
Château Cantenac-Brown was built in the early 19th century by John-Lewis Brown in the commune of Cantenac. The property is built in the English Tudor style, in memory of Brown's Scottish origins. Year after year, the magnificent Margaux Cru Classé gains in international reputation for the quality of its terroir and its wines. At the end of 2019, Château Cantenac-Brown enters a new era in its history following its acquisition by the Le Lous family. Major investment and restructuring will be carried out, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, to further enhance the excellence of this reputed Margaux Cru Classé.
