Begun 250 years ago, Brane-Cantenac’s legend is the tale of a thriving relationship between man and earth, which grows stronger as the ages go by. Named ‘Hostein’ in the 18th Century, this great wine estate was bought by the Gorce family, and produced one of the Medoc’s most renowned wines long before the 1855 classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs for our 2nd wine, Baron de Brane, its name pays hommage to the famous Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane, the ’Napoléon des Vignes’, owner of the property in the 19th Century. For the past four generations the Lurton family has been at the helm, devoted wardens who continue to ensure that the property flourishes, producing wines of the greatest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe nose was highly aromatic a few months ago but has recently become more restrained.

Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of bright, energetic fruit with a grainy texture and tons of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the Lurton properties in Margaux, Brane Cantenac is showing the richness of its finely placed vineyard in this 2010. Smoky wood and ripe blackberry are among the flavors of a wine that is complex, complete and concentrated. It will certainly age well.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePretty red fruits such as cherries in this wine with chewy tannins and fresh acidity. Toasted oak too. Needs time to come together. Dense and complete for this estate. Better than 2009. Better after 2016.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is dark and grippy, with charcoal, roasted bay and chestnut leaf notes fronting a muscular core of steeped black currant, loganberry and black cherry flavors. Taut plum pit and iron hints thread the finish, revealing a lingering charcoal note. Very solid and suited for aging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Brane-Cantenac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124608368864,"sku":"111722","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe_1.jpg?v=1663883930","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe-2010-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
