2023 Alto de Cantenac Brown, Bordeaux Blanc
History and Winery
Château Cantenac Brown, located in Margaux, is a historic 3rd Cru Classé estate with roots dating back to 1806. In 2011, the estate expanded its expertise into white wine production with the launch of Alto de Cantenac Brown – an exclusive Bordeaux Blanc produced in very limited quantities. The wine expresses the same precision and elegance as the estate's red wines, but with a focus on freshness, finesse, and a pronounced minerality.

- Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness
