Baron de Brane is the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, a second growth château owned by Henri Lurton and one of the oldest and largest properties in Margaux. It's crafted with an emphasis on approachability while still reflecting the elegance and structure of the grand vin, offering both complexity and early drinkability due to its balanced fruit and refined tannins. On the palate, this wine is smooth and rounded, with soft tannins and moderate acidity. It presents flavours of red and dark berries, along with touches of plum and blackcurrant, layered with a slight earthy, mineral undertone characteristic of Margaux. The finish is elegant, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of graphite.
