2013 Château Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

The first second growth on our journey through Bordeaux and first serious wine. Where others had failed to provide body and weight Brane Cantenac did not. Darker fruits, blackberries with a touch of cassis aided by a generous velvety core typical of what we have come to expect of Henri Lurton and his team. Every care has been taken to ensure this is a fine offering from this consistently high performing Chateau. Charm, elegance and fine structure will see this wine gracing tables in five years but also capable of ageing for 15+ years.

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.

Brane-Cantenac's vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (40%), Cabernet Franc (4.5%) and Carmenère 0,5%,  and lie on fine, gravelly soils. Vinification includes up to 18 months' wood ageing, a third to a half in new `barriques'.
