Description
John-Lewis Brown (1769-1851) acquired the estate in the early 19th century and decided to build in the village of Cantenac, a Tudor style chateau reminiscent of his Scottish origins.
The building is one of the most unusual in Médoc region and is surrounded by a remarkable English-style ground.
The quality of the wine was acknowledged in the 1855 classification, when Château Cantenac Brown was included into the growths.
The Bordeaux winemerchant and owner of several estates in Médoc, Louis Armande Lalande (1820-1894), extended the building, keeping the same architecture.
The wine is still in his youth, therefore purple and crimson colors dominate. Fruits aromas are exuberant with berries: strawberries and raspberries notes… Tannins are present and so? with a beautiful richness. Cantenac Brown 2009 already shows well. It is the privilege of great wines and exceptional vintages.
It is indeed a vintage marked by high degrees fortunately compensated by a beautiful freshness. he tannins are dense and lots will suave and fine wines, balance is the. Nature has given us everything.
