					<description><![CDATA[The history of Château d’Issan consists primarily of a long list of property transmissions and legacies. By inheritance and marriage, the estate has been handed down from owner to owner, and all of them have contributed in their own way to its renown and helped to forge its unique character. Over a period of nearly three centuries, the estate was passed down along a line involving a number of families with names such as Noailhan, Meyrac, Ségur, Salignac, de la Vergne, Escodeca de Boisse, etc. From 1575 onwards, the property was owned by five generations of the Essenault family, who ended up renaming it, contracting their name to “Issan” and thus Château d’Issan was born...

This exceptional 2022 vintage can be characterised by intense fruit nuances, balance, depth of aromatics, and definition of tannins, presented in a particularly bright and vibrant colour, with magnificent concentration and refined power. The Cabernets and the Malbec are once again remarkable - giving this new opus a unique signature.

					<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the 19th century, John-Lewis Brown (1769-1851), bought a vineyard and designed in the village of Cantenac, a traditional Tudor style château, reminding him of his Scottish origins. His name is forever linked to the Grand Cru Classé. After the 1855 Grand Cru Classification, Louis Armand Lalande (1820-1894), Bordeaux winemerchant and owner of several estates in Médoc, extended the building. Surrounded by a remarkable British style park, Château Cantenac Brown is since then among the most original in Médoc and of the wines to watch out for, getting better vintage after vintage.

BriO de Cantenac Brown is the second wine of Château Cantenac Brown and was first created in the 2001 vintage. From the style of its label, through to the careful selection of lots and to the bottling, the wine aims to express the modernity of Château Cantenac Brown in the 21st Century. Charming, delicate and brilliant, a pleasurable wine for sharing. It can be enjoyed young, but will improve when kept for a few years.

					<description><![CDATA[From the 17th century to the present day, ten generations of owners have followed one another and have left their mark on the history of Château Lascombes. A destiny marked by colorful characters who all worked for the excellence of Château Lascombes wines.

An alliance of power and elegance, smoothness and tannic richness, Château Lascombes is a complex wine. Young, its deep robe is still impressive. The palate combines finesse and softness with a grain of very noble tannins. Over the years, you have to rediscover Château Lascombes to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and see its structure evolve, becoming more and more suave.

Depth, complexity and graceful power characterise this vintage, which reveals all its qualities after long ageing in the bottle. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, it represents the Médoc’s winemaking tradition and embodies the great classicism of Margaux.

					<description><![CDATA[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.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 13%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Beautiful garnet with purplish highlights.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The nose is highly aromatic, delivering welldefined aromas of both black and red fruits. Delicate floral and dark chocolate notes develop in the glass.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
12 months in French oak barrels (30% new oak, 70% used once).</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
It pairs beautifully with roast lamb or beef tenderloin, duck and poultry dishes; hearty fish like tuna or salmon; and Asian cuisine.</p>
