Brane-Cantenac 2019 — a Margaux Second Growth in half-bottle form: ripe black fruit, cedar and tobacco with classic finesse.
Château Brane-Cantenac is a Second Growth (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé) in the heart of the Margaux appellation, with a history reaching back to the seventeenth century. Margaux is the Left Bank’s most perfumed commune, and Brane-Cantenac has long been celebrated for finesse and ageing potential rather than sheer power.
The 2019 blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in oak barrels. Full-bodied, with layers of ripe black fruit over a firm but approachable tannic frame, and cedar and tobacco emerging on the finish. It will reward cellaring, but the half bottle is the perfect way to enjoy it now — an elegant opener to a celebratory meal, or an indulgent bottle for two.
Serve with: grilled steak, braised lamb, roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
