Please note these are half bottles or 375 ML. At the heart of the distinguished Margaux appellation, Château Brane-Cantenac stands proudly as a second growth vineyard since 1855. Renowned for producing wines of remarkable richness, elegance and finesse, this 75-hectare estate is an emblem of quality and excellence in the world of fine wine. The wines here frequently live up to its nom de plume as the "Pauillac of Margaux." Since Henri Lurton took over in 1992, he has made it his mission to produce the best possible wine, reinforcing Brane’s position as a high quality second growth. The result is a fine wine that perfectly expresses its remarkable terroir. The vineyard is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
This is the second label of Brane-Cantenac which offers an extraordinary value for Bordeaux lovers. Look for a purple color. The nose is spicy and slightly smoky, with notes of tobacco evolving with airing into aromas of red fruits. The attack is silky, and the mid-palate is fleshy. The wine has a good balance and a tasty and aromatic finish.

Flowers and cassis meld together perfectly in this medium-bodied, forward, soft, elegant, sweet, red berry filled charmer. Enjoy this while waiting the Grand Vin to develop.
