Margaux

One of the most natural wine and food combinations is Margaux with lamb.

Two elements helped the Cabernet Sauvignon to reach the level of a great vintage in 2014: the grapes grew less after the rain in the summer and they began ripening earlier. The extension of the ripening cycle, due to their growth stopping earlier than the Merlot, allowed them to benefit magnificently from the sunny late summer season.

The high quality Merlot from the plateau, incorporated in smaller quantities than usual, provided an excellent complement to the blend bringing roundness and aromatic richness.

Vineyards are stamped with the will of men. Begun 250 years ago Brane-Cantenac’s legend is the tale of a thriving relationship between man and earth which grows stronger as the ages go by. Named ‘Hostein’ in the 18th Century this great wine estate was bought by the Gorce family and produced one of the Medoc’s most renowned wines long before the 1855 classification. As for our 2nd wine Baron de Brane its name pays hommage to the famous Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane the ’Napoléon des Vignes’ owner of the property in the 19th Century. For the past four generations the Lurton family has been at the helm devoted wardens who continue to ensure that the property flourishes producing wines of the greatest quality.
