Wine Spectator

“A lovely, rich, and exuberant nose, offering particularly ripe and expressive fruit, along with vanilla and mineral notes; on the palate, it is generous, full-bodied, and deep, with plenty of richness and flavor, lingering aromas, and liveliness. A rich and flattering style. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2016) Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

A lovely, rich, and exuberant nose, offering particularly ripe and expressive fruit, along with vanilla and mineral notes; on the palate, it is generous, full-bodied, and deep, with plenty of body and flavor, lingering aromas, and liveliness. A rich and flattering style.

About the estate:

This estate, which owes its name to a Scottish wine merchant, was successfully taken over by the Mau family in 2005, in partnership with the Dutch firm Dirkzwager. Jean-Christophe Mau, a true enthusiast, 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, fruit-forward, harmonious, and balanced. The whites are impeccable, precise, and pure. The reds, of a very high standard, possess a distinct Léognan character. The estate ranks among the top producers in the appellation.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 90–92/100 (Excellent wine)

About the wine:

The 2014 Château Brown white features a very well-defined bouquet of lime syrup and gooseberry, with notes of peach emerging as it breathes. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh, with that lime syrup note lingering alongside lovely acidity and a lively finish.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

The 2014 vintage has higher acidity, with citrus notes and a pleasantly woody character.

About the estate:

This estate, purchased in 2005 by the Mau and Dirkzwager families, is now managed by Jean-Christophe Mau. He has carried out extensive work on this terroir, which neighbors the Château Olivier classified growth. The most recent vintages have reached an excellent level, offering a classic yet full-bodied style that consistently emphasizes beautiful, refined tannins and fresh fruit.

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16,5/20

About the wine:

Lovely aromas of tangy lemon cream, with just a hint of grapefruit, cedar, and vanilla. A light, subtly tannic mouthfeel, lending a slightly chalky texture. Fresh and full of citrus; the oak is beautifully integrated, and the acidity is well-balanced. Impressive length.
