{"title":"Château Cantenac Brown","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cantenac Brown is a historic Margaux estate classified as a Third Growth in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. Its story is closely tied to the Scottish wine merchant John Lewis Brown, who acquired the property in 1806 and gave the château both its name and the Scottish identity that remains visible today in its distinctive Tudor-style architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate lies on the gravelly soils of Cantenac in the Margaux appellation, where Cabernet Sauvignon is central to the grand vin alongside Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The château’s style is built around the freshness, perfume and structure associated with Margaux, with careful parcel selection and élevage in French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Le Lous family acquired Cantenac Brown in 2019 and has continued a major program of vineyard and cellar investment. A new gravity-fed winery and raw-earth cellar, inaugurated with the 2023 vintage, were designed to combine greater precision in vinification with a strong environmental approach while preserving the historic character of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-cantenac-brown-2018-margaux-bordeaux-france","title":"Château Cantenac Brown 2018 – Margaux Bordeaux France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Cantenac Brown 2018 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Margaux Grand Cru Classé combining concentration, roundness and fresh, persistent tannins.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍷 At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRegion \/ Appellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaux AOC, Bordeaux, France\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 months in French oak; 60% new barrels, 40% one-year-old barrels\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry red wine; concentrated, rounded and structured\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👃 Tasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate describes 2018 as a vintage of exceptional maturity and concentration.
