CHATEAU BROWN ROSÉ, produced for the first time in 2012, is an elegant combination of red-wine varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon in particular) and expertise in making white wines, in French oak barrels with maturing on the fine lees.
The robe is pale and elegant with bright tints. The aromatic expression is delicate, marked by citrus aromas, grapefruit zest and acacia blossom. It boasts nice complexity when aerated, as strawberry and pomegranate scents are revealed. The palate is rich and voluptuous. This gastronomic rosé will be ideal served with the most refined dishes.

The quality of Château Brown’s first ever pink lends weight to estate manager Jean-Christophe Mau’s belief that Bordeaux has the ability to produce high-end rosés to rival those made in Provence.
The Wine Gang
Oak-aged rosé is not an easy style to get right, but this works (…) It is an impressive first rosé from Château Brown. And, yes, so it should be at this price.
La Revue du Vin de France – P.Maurange
A very pretty rosé (…) vinified in barrels for 6 months, just like the estate’s white wines. The only one of its kind in Bordeaux and well worth discovering right away.
Gault et Millau
Its lovely colour somewhere between flesh and raspberry leads into a deliciously appetising bouquet, with scents ranging from cherry to toffee apple and raspberry. The mildly-textured palate rolls out a handful of spices.
Journal SUD-OUEST
It is only too rare to find a Bordeaux rosé that stands the test, but this one really stands out – which is why we selected it despite its price.
JancisRobinson.com – Richard Hemming
The palate is very characterful for a rosé – loads of flavour range, lovely texture, good persistence.(…)Very accomplished.
