Château Artigues Pauillac AOC

2019

Château Artigues Pauillac AOC

A Cru Bourgeois located in the heart of the Médoc, Château Artigues has been owned by the Meffre family since 1958. Today, Claude Meffre leads the estate, after a career in journalism.

The 30-hectare vineyard, near the hamlet of Artigues, sits on silico-gravel and Garonne gravel soils. Interestingly, the small Château Artigues borders some famous estates classified as “cru classé” – so it offers the typical Pauillac character at a much more affordable price.

Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC

2012

Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC

Château Brane-Cantenac stands proudly in the heart of the prestigious Margaux appellation.
Renowned for its wines of remarkable elegance and finesse, this 75-hectare property is an emblem of quality and excellence in the world of fine wines.

Since Henri Lurton took over in 1992, he has made it his mission to produce the best possible wine, reinforcing Brane’s position as a second classified growth in 1855. The result is a fine wine that perfectly expresses its remarkable terroir.

Brane’s great success in this vintage is down to the terroir, which leads grapes to ripen early. The fact that 68% of Cabernet Sauvignon we included in the blend of Brane-Cantenac 2012 bears witness to its beautiful maturity, and to the excellent work that was done in the vineyard.

Château Cantelaudette Cuvée Prestige Rouge Graves de Vayres AOC

“I inherited Château Cantelaudette in 1984, I was thirty years old and married in the same year. The property was not really a wedding gift: the house and vines had been abandoned and there was no winery. However, my wife, when she saw the old château, thought that it should be our home. Starting from scratch, we refurbished it to our taste, replanted the vines according to expert recommendations, and built an operational winery to produce a wine under the Cantelaudette label. Without my wife, Laurence, I never would have had the courage to undertake this adventure. I make wines for her and which reflect her… refined, elegant, balanced, rounded, and with a certain complexity.” – Jean-Michel Chatelier, owner and manager of Château Cantelaudette.

Château Cantenac Brown Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC

2017

Château Cantenac Brown Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC

At the beginning of the 19th century, John-Lewis Brown (1769-1851), bought a vineyard and designed in the village of Cantenac, a traditional Tudor style château, reminding him of his Scottish origins. His name is forever linked to the Grand Cru Classé. After the 1855 Grand Cru Classification, Louis Armand Lalande (1820-1894), Bordeaux winemerchant and owner of several estates in Médoc, extended the building. Surrounded by a remarkable British style park, Château Cantenac Brown is since then among the most original in Médoc and of the wines to watch out for, getting better vintage after vintage.

2017 will remain in the memories as the vintage of the frost…but 2017 is above all an early vintage with a regular and fast flowering and a homogeoues veraison. The great terroirs gave great grapes: Merlots are plumps and gourmands; Cabernets reveal complex aromas.
