2014 Chateau Brane Cantenac
- Low stock - 1 item left
ABOUT THE WINE
Located west of the village of Cantenac in the Margaux appellation, this 2eme Cru Classe estate has seen significant improvement in the vineyards and winemaking since Henri Lurton took over management in the 1990s. The 75 hectares of vineyard remain virtually unchanged since the Classification in 1855, and the estate also boasts significant parkland and beautifully manicured gardens. 25% organic, with progress towards 100% planned, and 12 hectares dedicated to an experiment in biodynamic farming.
TASTING NOTES
A crisp red currant and cranberry nose laced with tobacco, cedar and chalk. The palate is well defined and beautifully balanced, delivering crisp acidity and fine tannin. This is unashamedly taut and linear, but it displays commendable energy on the mineral-driven finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Confit of lamb shoulder, pumpkin puree, mushroom sauce.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Gorgeous wine with excellent ageing potential. Should go well for 25 to 30 years, but drinking well now.
