Baron de Brane Margaux AOC (Château Brane-Cantenac GCC 2nd wine)

Château Brane-Cantenac stands proudly in the heart of the prestigious Margaux appellation. Renowned for its wines of remarkable elegance and finesse, this 75-hectare property is an emblem of quality and excellence in the world of fine wines.

Since Henri Lurton took over in 1992, he has made it his mission to produce the best possible wine, reinforcing Brane’s position as a second classified growth in 1855. The Château de Brane-Cantenac vineyard is unique in that the terroir of the Brane plateau contributes to the elegant and aromatic signature of the estate’s wines.

Baron de Brane is the second wine from Château Brane-Cantenac. This wine is a tribute to Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane, who owned the vineyard in the 19th century. This second wine is made from deep gravel plots of clay gravel.

APPEARANCE
Beautiful garnet with purplish highlights.

NOSE
The nose is highly aromatic, delivering welldefined aromas of both black and red fruits. Delicate floral and dark chocolate notes develop in the glass.

PALATE
The attack is ample, supple and full-bodied. The very generous mid-palate, marked by fine, beautifully coated tannins, evolves towards a fresh, persistent finish. Very well-balanced and delicious.

AGEING
12 months in French oak barrels (30% new oak, 70% used once).

PAIRING
It pairs beautifully with roast lamb or beef tenderloin, duck and poultry dishes; hearty fish like tuna or salmon; and Asian cuisine.
