Château Brane Cantenac
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.
Description
A splendid nose with subtle complexity. Very refined fruit with mineral and floral touches and perfectly integrated oak. Above all, aromatic complexity and rare elegance with a deep, richness in the mouth and beautiful ripe, delicate tannins. Tight but gentle with a very fine acidity and immensely long finish.
Food Pairing
One of the most natural wine and food combinations is Margaux with lamb.
