Château Cantenac Brown

Château Cantenac Brown is a vineyard in the Bordeaux region whose origins date back to the early 19th century, when John Lewis Brown purchased the vineyard and decided to build a château in the English Renaissance (Tudor) style, which reminded him of his Scottish roots. In 2019, the Le Lous family took over the Château. José Sanfins is leading this new project, and significant investments are being made to bring a contemporary and bold vision to viticulture.

The management of the Château Cantenac Brown vineyard has become more environmentally friendly: “integrated pest management” is now fully implemented there.

The Cantenac Brown vineyard covers 48 hectares on gravelly soil typical of the Margaux appellation. The grape varieties consist of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc—which produce refined wines with an intense bouquet, well-suited for aging—and 30% Merlot, which adds color, richness, and roundness.
