Chateau Brane-Cantenac
Château Brane-Cantenac
An exquisite array of fruit on the compelling nose: boysenberry, raspberry confit and crushed strawberry, all laced with pressed violets and an underlying chalky/mineral vein. The fresh, linear, medium-bodied palate presents a rare elegance with depth, richness, beautiful supple and delicate tannin, a fine bead of acidity and an immensely long finish. Superb.
Description
Château Brane-Cantenac
The history of Château Brane-Cantenac is intertwined with both the rich tradition of Bordeaux winemaking and the broader history of the region’s estates.
The origins of Château Brane-Cantenac can be traced back to the 18th century. It was originally part of a much larger estate, which had been established by the Brane family, a prominent Bordeaux family. The estate was known as “Brane,” after the Brane family that owned it for many years. The name “Cantenac” was later added, likely referring to the village where the estate is located within the Margaux appellation.
