CHATEAU BROWN
Château Brown, located in Léognan, is a winery with a rich history. The property's vineyards date back to the 12th century, and during the Hundred Years' War, they remained in English hands. The château's name was officially changed to Château Brown in the late 18th century, in honor of John Lewis Brown, a Scottish wine merchant based in Bordeaux. He built the estate's iconic chartreuse and helped turn it into a prosperous estate. Château Brown was recognized as early as 1884, when it won a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Amsterdam. However, after the Second World War, the vineyard went through a period of decline and lost its place in the classification of Graves Crus Classés. Today, Château Brown is a place steeped in history, and offers tours to discover its heritage and wine-making expertise.
