This is one of my favorite second wines from a classed producer in Bordeaux. It has many of the aromatic complexities of the Catenac Brown, but the tannins are much softer allowing it to be enjoyed sooner rather than later- Curtis Mann

Description

John Lewis Brown, an animal painter of Scottish descent, purchased the vineyard in the early 19th century and commissioned the construction of a Tudor-style chateau. A bon vivant, he soon acquired a reputation for hospitality thanks to the brilliant celebrations he hosted at his chateau. He sold the estate in 1843 to a banker named Gromard who was the owner in 1855 when Chateau Cantenac-Brown was granted a grand cru classification. One hundred fifty years later, the Simon Halabi family have given a new impetus to the estate, which they are determined to raise to the very highest level. As a second wine to a classed growth, this bottling has many characteristics of the Cantenac Brown, but is more supple and ready to drink now.
