Margaux AOC
Alcohol Level:

Description:
An attractive purple hue, good concentration and intensity, with a restrained and refined nose of red fruit aromas. After a velvety attack, the wine develops in the mouth to reveal pleasant ripe fruit flavours, floral notes, spices and a light smokiness. Tannins are soft and tight. There is great elegance, a silky texture and a very fine aromatic palette. Perfect balance, superb length. A sumptuous and highly refined Margaux wine.
Winery:
Château Brane-Cantenac is located in the Bordeaux commune of Margaux, on the left bank of the Gironde. It was founded in the 18th Century by the Gorce family and ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc and Graves. Today it is owned by Henri Lurton, a man whose philosophy is very much based on a hands-on approach to his vines and winemaking rather than relying too much on technology.
