Thus, everything is done to reveal the soil of Château Cantenac-Brown. Respect of the environment, rational control and the uses of traditional methods are the mottos of the Château. The 42 hectares produce the Grand Vin of the Château, which grow 12 to 15 months in barrels (50% in new barrels and 50% in used barrels). Coming from the plot selection of the vines of cabernet-sauvignon, merlot and cabernet-franc of this Grand Cru of Margaux, the BriO de château Cantenac-Brown is the second wine of the estate.
