The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Thanks to the vision, passion and expertise of Henri Lurton, who manages the estate with panache and talent, the Château Brane-Cantenac has become one of the most sought-after Grands Crus Classés (Classified Growth) of Margaux. The vineyard masters each vintage with unfailing regularity. Here, the finesse and delicacy of the Margaux terroir is never hidden between a too overpowering texture. The wines are elegant and refined, an ode to this exceptional winemaking region.
Wine Silky and elegant, the 2018 Red Margaux de Brane offers precise winemaking, pure and uncluttered flavors of fruit, with supple tannins. It is a tender and mellow wine, full of flavor due to a beautiful climatology, carried by many aromas, which can already accompany roast poultry or a rack of pork with thyme.
Vinification Hand harvested, soft extraction by pigeage, aged in barrels for 3/4 new and 1/4 of a wine.
