Château Cantenac Brown is a Grand Cru ranked third in the 1855 Classification, located within the Margaux appellation. The chateau was founded over 200 years ago by a Scotsman, John Lewis Brown. This visionary figure selected the best parcels of land: his hard work and high standards were rewarded in 1855 when the Bordeaux Classification ranked Cantenac Brown among the most esteemed. A spectacular testimony to its Scottish ancestry, the estate’s emblematic Tudor-style château makes it the most remarkable property in the Médoc region.
