Small Production, Rarely Seen Bordeaux Gem


2008 Chateau Brown Blanc Pessac-Leognan
WS Highest Rated White Bordeaux Besides Haut Brion
$1 per Bottle Shipping on 6, Free Shipping on Case

2008 Chateau Brown has been a Chateau on the rise in Bordeaux ever since it was purchased by Jean-Christophe Mau in 2005. They are now producing one of the finest wines from the Pessac Leognan appellation, considered the finest in Bordeaux for white wines.

The 2008 Chateau Brown Blanc looks like their best yet. It received a score of 93 points from the Wine Spectator, the highest rating ever for any wine from Chateau Brown. How does Chateau Brown stand up to the competition in Pessac Leognan? It was rated only one point lower than the $420 Haut Brion Blanc, and was rated higher than the $350 Laville Haut Brion and $190 Pape Clement!

A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon, this classic white Bordeaux is only $39.99, and with an order of 6, shipping is just $1 per bottle, and with a case order, shipping is free!

Wine Spectator 93 Points-- This muscular white has a firm backbone of acidity that supports fleshy flavors of melon, mango, chamomile and toast. Balanced and harmonious, with ample reserves to age well. Two-thirds Sauvignon Blanc and one-third Sémillon. Drink now through 2020. 750 cases made. –TM
