Alto de Cantenac Brown Bordeaux – Bordeaux Blanc – White – 2022:

 

The Alto de Cantenac Brown is the rare, luxury white wine from the hallowed grounds of Château Cantenac Brown, a Third Growth Margaux Grand Cru Classé. This limited-production white is crafted from a unique, cool-climate plot of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, undergoing barrel fermentation to achieve a rich, gastronomic style that is highly sought after by collectors.

Tasting Profile

This wine presents a brilliant, pale gold color. The complex nose immediately offers an elegant mix of vibrant citrus (lime, lemon curd), white flowers, and hints of exotic fruit (pineapple). On the palate, it delivers a stunning balance: a smooth, round texture is energized by a powerful mineral tension and crisp acidity, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. It is a white wine built to age.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Alto is designed to be a centerpiece wine. Serve slightly chilled (50-54°F or 10-12°C). It is the ultimate companion for:

• Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon-Butter Sauce.
• Roasted Chicken (Herb or Truffle-infused).
• Grilled Halibut or Swordfish steaks.
