Technique

Viticulture

Cantenac Brown is renowned for the English style architecture of its building, dating from the early 19th century, built by John Lewis Brown. He sold Cantenac-Brown in 1843 to a banker by the name of Gromard, who took over the estate in 1855, when it was listed. The château was bought in 2006 by Simon Halabi, who wished to give a new impulse to the Cru.

Oenology

Terroir of fine gravelly clay and limestone. Reasoned cultivation methods, double Guyot pruning, thinning and controlled yields. Harvesting is done by hand. The grapes are sorted in the vineyard and in the vat room. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, 15 to 20 days of maceration, malolactic fermentation in vats and barrels, and ageing in barrels (50% new) for 12 and 15 months.
