| Winery | The vineyard is managed in an environmentally friendly manner, and Cantenac Brown holds the Haute Valeur Environmental certificate (HVE) level 3, which is the highest level. Only plant-based fertilisers are applied using a moderate and balanced approach in tune with the vines' needs. The double Guyot-trained vines are meticulously cultivated throughout the year, with pruning, removal of buds, leaves and secondary shoots, thinning out and controlled yields. The Cantenac Brown team uses traditional soil maintenance techniques to enhance the soil's structural, chemical and biological properties. The Margaux soil is predominantly gravelly soil, with clay and sand. |
