Margaux

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

In 2015, nature treated us with a cross between 2 other exceptional vintages. Climatic conditions were ideal throughout the entire cycle in the vineyard, but particularly favourable in the Margaux appellation during the ripening period. Picking conditions were thus excellent, allowing us to harvest each of the varietals in every plot at their optimal ripeness. The wines have great aromatic richness and splendid tannic structure. They have everything necessary to allow them to age well for many years to come.

Aged 18 months in 70% new French oak.

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.
