Baron de Brane 2015

HED37195 75cl 14%
Baron de Brane is the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, a 2ème Cru Classé located west of the village of Cantenac. The 2015 vintage is a blend of 57% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, revealing an explosion of red fruit at perfect maturity. Refined, expressive, offering strawberry, cherry, and blackberry aromas. The palate is round, almost sweet, with supple and fine tannins. Superb length on the finish.
The 2015 Baron de Brane has one of the more flamboyant Margaux bouquets, boasting precocious red cherry, crushed strawberry and cedar aromas, all very cohesive and displaying good vigor. The fresh, tensile palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, offering dark cherries, bay leaf and cedar toward the persistent finish. This is much better than the bottle opened at the vertical a few months earlier. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. - Neil Martin

Chateau Brane-Cantenac

Chateau Brane-Cantenac

Formerly owned by the great figures of Bordeaux wine, Lucien Lurton, Château Brane-Cantenac is a highly respected Second Growth estate in Margaux. The estate has been owned and run by Lucien’s son, Henri, since 1992. Although perceived to have gone through a lull during the 1970s and 1980s, historically, Brane-Cantenac was always regarded as the a ‘Super Second’. This reputation has only been enhanced by Henri Lurton, through the implementation of better vineyard management techniques (the entire 75ha has been certified organic since 2016) and investment in cutting-edge cellar technology (for example, optical sorting machines).

The estate grows mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (slightly more Cabernet) along with a small amount of Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. The Grand Vin of Château Brane-Cantenac is noted for its ripe tannins, excellent fruit concentration and structure, and perfumed delicacy – all characteristics of the finest wines of Margaux.
