Château Brown - Pessac-Léognan - Rouge 2016

Key words: Elegance / Complexity / Length

The wine: What a success that this 1st Château Brown wine! Endowed with a beautiful gourmandise, this brilliant Pessac-Léognan evolves with notes of intense black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), fine spices (pepper, tobacco, licorice, clove) as well as a very fine oak. Already ready to drink, this vintage also has excellent keeping potential! A great wine complex and intense.

The estate: With 31 ha of vines, the Château Brown owes its name to a Scottish goods merchant, John Lewis Brown, owner of the farm in the 19th century. After a few difficult years, the estate came back to life following its purchase in 1994 by Bernard Barthe and then through the efforts continued since the end of 2004 by the Mau and Dirkzwager families. The property has since been managed by Jean-Christophe Mau and the vineyard has been certified High Environmental Value level 3 since 2018. The latest vintages have reached an excellent level and all the wines are of great finesse.
