Château Cantenac Brown stands in Cantenac (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Château Cantenac Brown stands in the heart of the Margaux appellation, in the commune of Cantenac in the Gironde. Its Tudor-style silhouette, unusual for the Médoc, recalls the Scottish origins of its founder John-Lewis Brown, who had the house built in the early 19th century. The estate, ranked third growth in the 1855 classification, combines a 60-hectare vineyard with a building whose architecture stands apart from the typical Girondine manor houses nearby.

Written from Château Cantenac-Brown

What to know

  • This is first and foremost a working wine estate, where the vineyard and wines are as much the focus as the building itself.
  • The Tudor-style château was extended in the 19th century by Louis Armand Lalande, who kept its original architectural character.
  • The estate produces three wines, including a recent white, from a vineyard dominated by cabernet sauvignon.
  • Ownership has changed several times since the 18th century, from the Boyd and Brown families to the Le Lous family since late 2019.
