Château Brown covers 60 hectares, only 31 of which are devoted to vineyards. The rest of the wine estate is dedicated to preserving biodiversity: forests, meadows, gardens, and wetlands coexist, providing a refuge for a variety of flora and fauna. More than 40% of the property is left uncultivated, a deliberate approach to maintain ecological balance and promote natural ecosystems. Initiatives such as the installation of beehives, the creation of ponds, and the planting of protective hedges illustrate this commitment to biodiversity, reinforced by the High Environmental Value (HVE) certification obtained in 2018.
Precision and respectful viticulture
The wine estate practices precision viticulture, combining integrated pest management, reduced inputs, and soil cultivation. Almost complete plowing of the vineyard, the absence of herbicides, and the use of cover crops (rye, clover) help preserve soil quality and limit the environmental footprint. These methods, combined with an environmental management system integrated since 2012, demonstrate a desire to produce exceptional wines while respecting the environment.
An exceptional terroir
The Château Brown vineyard, in a single block, benefits from a unique terroir, characterized by gravel, sand, and clay soils typical of the Graves region. This mild and sunny microclimate promotes optimal ripening of the grapes, allowing the production of balanced, fruity red and white wines with great aromatic complexity. The dominant grape varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot for the reds, Sauvignon and Sémillon for the whites—fully express the typical characteristics of this exceptional terroir.
A commitment to people and heritage
Since its acquisition by the Mau family in 2004, Château Brown has combined tradition and modernity. The estate, classified among the grands crus of Pessac-Léognan, is run by a passionate team, committed to passing on a winemaking heritage while innovating for the future. Visits to the wine estate, tastings, and events organized throughout the year allow visitors to discover this world where the excellence of the wines goes hand in hand with respect for nature.
