Owner's words
The precision of Château Cantenac Brown 2023 is managed from start to finish by the technical team’s high-quality work. Its velvety, fleshy, and bright side takes you on a journey to the heart of our terroir. The dense and rich color leaves a striking impression on both the wine and the mind. The captivating aromas of red fruits and its complex nose capture the senses, while the palate, tense yet generous, reveals a savory richness.We are very fortunate to be able to vinify our wine for the first time in our new cellar. Our modern cellar is on the cutting edge of ecoresponsible construction, designed for the most precise winemaking. This new cellar turned out to be the best tool to manage any issues caused by the localized thunderstorms during the season. We can now harvest to the rhythm of each plot’s maturity. Close to 60 vats with varying volumes allow us to vinify each plot individually and at the optimal moment. Our 100% gravity fed vat room grants the time to infuse, and to extract gently while preserving the integrity of the fruit and the wines. The team is unmistakably excited. This exceptional tool, perfectly adapted to our terroir, opens all new horizons for us. A new era is beginning for Cantenac Brown.
