Chateau Cantenac Brown is a third growth (3ème Cru Classé) Chateau located in the Haut-Medoc appellation bordering the western side of the Margaux appellation. Meticulous care is taken in the vineyard; grapes are hand-harvested and sorted prior to fermentation. Maturation takes place in 50-70% new French oak barriques with the remainder one-year old oak for 12-15 months. Chateau Cantenac Browns style highlights the typicity of Margaux displaying a fragrant bouquet, medium body, fresh cassis fruit and elegant structure.

With one of the longest and most pedigreed histories in the Medoc region, Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases has passed through the hands of some of Frances most notable and wealthiest noble families, culminating in the Las Cases family - the final royal family to hold title to the Chateau. Up until the French Revolution, after which large portions of it were sold off, it was one of the largest vineyards in Bordeaux. Today, the estate remains family owned by the Delons, of which brother Jean Hubert and sister Genevieve manage proceedings. Famed for producing a wine of structure, power, and traditional style, the 2016 vintage has earned outstandingly high praise, including a score of 100 from Andrew Caillared and a 19/20 from Jancis Robinson who praised its extraordinary vitality and energy and proclaimed it glorious to taste now.

Xanadu Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is vibrant and robust with great balance from the bouquet of ripe forest fruits and violet on the nose; A refined structure of tannins, oak use and the acidity on the palate; All are great indications of a wine that would benefit from careful bottle maturation for many years to come.
