Tasting notes
Coming from young vines and the third wine of the estate, the 2019 Margaux De Brane is another charming, well-made Margaux offering up-front darker currant and cherry fruits, medium-bodied richness, a round, supple texture, and a good finish. It's a pleasure-bent, elegant wine to drink in its youth.

The 2019 Margaux de Brane has a very pleasant bouquet of brambly red fruit and morello cherries mixed with wild strawberry and cranberry, a light mintiness following through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a nicely structured opening, quite fresh, not deep and slightly tapered toward the finish. It should drink well for several years. 14.6° alcohol
The 2019 Margaux de Brane is bright, floral and perfumed, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. The vibrancy of the fruit in this Merlot-driven red is especially alluring. In 2019 the Brane is an absolute delight.
About the producer
Château Brane-Cantenac has been a consistent performer in the Margaux wine appellation since Henri Lurton took over the property, but thanks to replanting and investment in the last decade, quality has seen another sharp upswing.
