Château Brane Cantenac - G.C.C. | Margaux
Red wine | France, MARGAUX | 2019
The nose is bursting with black fruits, spices, floral and woody scents. It is charming and of great complexity. It expresses the perfect maturity of the 2019 vintage. In the mouth, the wine is generous, savoury. It is very powerful while silky and velvety. Great tannins richness with the necessary acidity to be beautifully balanced. The finish is impressively long. Undoubtedly a very great and long ageing Brane-Cantenac.

About Ch. Brane Cantenac
This beautiful domain is located in Cantenac a hamlet of Margaux. Founded in the 18th century with the name "Gorce". In 1833 Baron de Brane sold his domain "Brane-Mouton" in Pauillac and bought the domain "Gorce" and renamed it 10 years later "Brane-Cantenac". Lucien Lurton, the grandfather of the current owner, bought the domain from him in 1925. The domain is 90 hectares. 150,000 bottles of wine are produced here annually.
