Château Cantenac Brown is a Third Growth estate classified in 1855, located in Cantenac within the Margaux appellation. Founded in 1806 by John Lewis Brown, a Bordeaux merchant of Scottish origin, the estate stands out for its unique Tudor-style château in the Médoc. Since 2019, the property has been owned by the Le Lous family. The vineyard extends over 80 hectares planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc on deep gravel terraces. The range includes three wines: the grand vin Château Cantenac Brown, the second wine BriO de Cantenac Brown and the white wine AltO de Cantenac Brown. The estate is distinguished by its new eco-responsible cellar inaugurated in 2023, built entirely from raw earth and untreated wood.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Château Cantenac Brown begins in 1754, when an Irish merchant named Jacques Boyd settled in Cantenac. In 1806, John Lewis Brown — a Bordeaux merchant of Scottish origin from the Clan Broun of Colstoun — acquired the estate and gave it his name. Proud of his roots, he commissioned a Tudor-style château, a rare architectural testimony in the Médoc, with its 370 windows and doors. His grandson, the renowned animal painter John Lewis Brown, spent his childhood there and immortalized these lands, sharing them with Degas, Manet and Toulouse-Lautrec. In 1843, the estate was acquired by banker Gromard, and it was under his ownership that it was consecrated Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, under the name Château Boyd. In 1860, Louis-Armand Lalande purchased the property, restored the name Cantenac Brown and actively developed the reputation of its wines. The estate would pass through several owners — the Lawton and du Vivier families, Rémy Martin, AXA Millésimes in 1989, then the Halabi family in 2006. In December 2019, the Le Lous family, French entrepreneurs at the head of the Urgo pharmaceutical group, acquired the château and committed significant investments to elevate the estate to its highest level.

Le terroir

The vineyard of Château Cantenac Brown now extends over 80 hectares, of which approximately 60 hectares are in production within the Margaux appellation. The vines rest on the prestigious plateaus of Margaux and Cantenac, on deep gravel soils composed of pebbles and gravel mixed with sand and clay, lying on a clay-limestone subsoil — a typical Médoc terroir that favours optimal drainage and ideal maturity for Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape varieties reflect the Margaux identity: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, recently complemented by 1.2 hectares of Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines exceeds 35 years. The estate manages its vineyard using sustainable viticulture, with grass cover between rows, hedgerow preservation and biodiversity management. In 2023, the estate inaugurated a revolutionary cellar designed by architect Philippe Madec, a pioneer in eco-construction: built entirely from compacted raw earth and untreated rough wood from the Aquitaine region, operating by gravity, this zero-carbon footprint cellar guarantees the natural thermal inertia and humidity necessary for ageing.

Les vins

The range of Château Cantenac Brown comprises three wines. The grand vin, Château Cantenac Brown, fully embodies the Margaux style: depth, finesse and aromatic complexity, with aromas of ripe black and red fruits enhanced by floral, spicy and lightly oaked notes. The tannin structure, fine and elegant, carries considerable ageing potential — the wines generally require 12 to 15 years before reaching their peak, and age gracefully for 20 to 30 years. The ageing takes place for 16 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new. The second wine, BriO de Cantenac Brown, offers a more accessible expression of the terroir while preserving the Margaux identity, with a fruity and supple texture. Since 2011, the estate has also produced AltO de Cantenac Brown, a white Bordeaux wine crafted from 5 hectares planted with 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sauvignon Gris and 3% Sémillon, offering a mineral and vibrant reading of the terroir. Parcel-by-parcel vinification, made possible by the new cellar and its 60 tanks of varying volumes, allows unprecedented precision in blending.

Le vigneron

Since early 2026, Romain Courtier has led Château Cantenac Brown as general manager. An agronomist and oenologist from Burgundy, he joined the estate in June 2025 to ensure the transition alongside José Sanfins, an emblematic figure of the property for nearly four decades. Passionate about pedology and from a farming family, Romain Courtier built his experience at Château Lafleur in Pomerol, in Burgundy, in Rioja, then as technical director at Château Nénin before joining Maison Ginestet. His appointment continues the vision carried by Tristan Le Lous and his family since the 2019 acquisition: to showcase the Margaux terroir, pursue qualitative excellence and affirm the estate's environmental commitment. At the head of the Urgo group and an agronomist with a passion for oenology, Tristan Le Lous, originally from Burgundy, embodies the owning family's ambition — to make this classified growth shine while equipping it with pioneering infrastructure, symbols of viticulture turned towards the future.
