{"title":"Château Brane-Cantenac","description":"Château Brane-Cantenac is your discovery of the true soul of Margaux! Since the 17th century, wines have been produced here that embody the essence of Bordeaux elegance: finesse, complexity, and that special feminine grace that makes Margaux wines so irresistible. Its history is marked by visionary figures: Baron de Brane, known as the \u0026quot;Napoleon of the Vines,\u0026quot; recognized the exceptional potential of this terroir in 1833 and gave the château its name. In the legendary 1855 classification, Brane-Cantenac was quite rightly awarded the title of Deuxième Grand Cru Classé. Today, Henri Lurton carries on the legacy of the Lurton family, who have shaped the estate since 1925. With his scientific background in biology, oenology, and ampelography, he blends tradition with innovation. On 75 hectares of prime gravel soils, wines are produced from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc – a composition that perfectly balances power and elegance. The special thing about them? Brane-Cantenac wines are never the loudest, but they are among the most fascinating. They reveal their multifaceted nuances over time, developing that captivating complexity of blackberry, violet, and truffle that distinguishes great Bordeaux wines. Since 2019, Henri has even surprised palates with an exceptional white wine from a unique micro-terroir.","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe","title":"Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux Grand Cru Classé","description":"A beautiful, deep, clear garnet color. On the nose, this wine displays great freshness, with notes of black fruits such as blackberries and delicate hints of white flowers. The nose is complex, with notes of cloves and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is open and generous. The tannins are supple and silky, of high quality. The wine is dense and complex on the palate, with flavors of black fruits, spices, and a touch of menthol for a very pleasing balance. The finish is long, with the characteristic notes of Cabernet Sauvignon, which add a lovely freshness. A true success for this vintage. The wine is produced on 72 hectares in the Margaux AOC, with 30 hectares planted on the No. 4 terrace, which has deep gravel soils. The vines have an average age of 35 years. The 2021 vintage experienced stark contrasts and required considerable effort to overcome the climatic challenges: frost, spring rains, and a dreary summer, followed by a late but intense summer drought. After harvesting, vinification takes place in oak barrels. The wine then matures for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The wine\u0026#39;s composition consists of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, and 1% Carmenère.","brand":"Château Brane-Cantenac","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":52694833168720,"sku":"V02496","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022","offer_id":53093114216784,"sku":"V02496-2022","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe-rotwein.webp?v=1779807476"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/collections\/chateau-brane-cantenac.oembed","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
