Le Baron de Brane

Margaux 2022

Le Baron de Brane, the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, is an exceptional offering that combines quality and value. This wine is crafted from the younger vines of the esteemed Brane-Cantenac vineyard, which benefits from the region's gravelly soils and optimal microclimate. Winemaker Henri Lurton oversees the meticulous production process. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving their vibrant character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with around 20% new oak, adding subtle complexity and structure. Each vintage of Le Baron de Brane offers a delightful nose of red berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of fresh fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a touch of spice, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. This wine embodies the prestige of Margaux while providing excellent value, making it an ideal choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
