"A lovely, rich and exuberant nose, offering particularly ripe and expressive fruit, vanilla and mineral notes, generous, full and deep on the palate, with plenty of richness and flavor, persistent aromas and liveliness. A rich and flattering style. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2016) Delivery in wooden crates for orders of 6 bottles of this wine delivered in France.

About wine:
A lovely, rich, and exuberant nose, offering particularly ripe and expressive fruit, vanilla and mineral notes, generous, full, and deep on the palate, with plenty of richness and flavor, persistent aromas, and liveliness. Rich and flattering in style.
About the estate:
This estate, named after a Scottish merchant, was taken over by the Mau family in 2005, in partnership with the Dutch company Dirkzwager. Jean-Christophe Mau is passionate about his work and devotes a great deal of energy to the estate, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt for the reds and Philippe Dulong for the whites. The wines are well-balanced, fruity, harmonious, and balanced. The whites are flawless, precise, and pure. The reds are of very good quality and have a distinct Léognan character. The estate is among the leaders in the appellation.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2015 guide) 90-92/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The 2014 Château Brown white wine has a well-defined bouquet of lime syrup and gooseberry, with notes of peach emerging after aeration. The palate is crisp and fresh, with the lime syrup note lingering with lovely acidity and a lively finish.

This property, purchased in 2005 by the Mau and Dirkzwager families, is now managed by Jean-Christophe Mau.

The latest vintages are of excellent quality, with a classic but full-bodied style that always emphasizes beautiful tannin finesse and fresh fruit.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16,5/20
About wine:
Lovely aromas of tangy lemon cream, with just a hint of grapefruit, cedar, and vanilla. Light and subtly tannic on the palate, with a slightly chalky texture. Fresh and citrusy, with well-integrated oak and balanced acidity. Impressive length.
