Château Brown Blanc is made with the same great care as the Grand Vin, but from the younger plots. Fermented in 1 year old barriques, in which the wine then matures for another 8 months on the fine 'lie', which is stirred twice a week.
Beautiful light golden yellow color. Fresh, complex scent with notes of orange zest, poire William, a hint of vanilla and a nuance of cardamom. In the taste, the rich fruit aromas and notes of wood melt together beautifully; a rich tasting wine with a remarkably fresh aftertaste.
Delicious white wine that goes well with fish dishes with beurre blanc or hollandaise.
Château Brown Blanc is a delicious French white Bordeaux wine from winery Château Brown from the appellation Pessac-Léognan France. This wine is made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 10 ° C and 12 ° C.
Château Brown is located just south of Bordeaux, in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The Château takes its name from the Scotsman John Lewis Brown, who bought it in 1795. Unfortunately, the vineyard was in a bit of a state of decline when a classification was drawn up in the Graves in the middle of the last century, but now, after great efforts and investments, Château Brown is back on top: the wines are considered among the best in Pessac-Léognan. The management of the Château is in the hands of Jean-Christophe Mau.
The winery covers 31 hectares, 26 hectares are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the white grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon cover 5 hectares. The vineyards are located on two sand-gravel ridges that guarantee good drainage. All grapes are harvested by hand and sorted three times. This results in particularly fine white and red wines.
Of course, Château Brown also has a second wine, called Le Colombier de Brown. This is a bit lighter and fruitier than the Grand Vin and can therefore be drunk younger.
