In Portrait:

Château Brane-Cantenac

Château Brane-Cantenac is a historic Margaux estate on the highly prized gravel rises of Cantenac.

The approximately 75 hectares are Cabernet-dominated, with Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, carefully divided into parcels and farmed sustainably. In the cellar, tradition and precision come together: selective hand harvesting, gravity-flow handling, temperature-controlled fermentation and measured ageing in French oak.

The house style is classic Margaux: fragrant finesse and floral elegance, fine graphite and cedar notes, taut, silky tannins and impressive depth of flavour.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
