Blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry roll through Baron de Brane 2022, a Merlot-led Margaux that feels supple and inviting yet lifted by bright acidity and a gentle citrus twist. The tannins are polished and silky rather than heavy, giving this second wine a graceful, medium-bodied frame and a sense of easy charm without losing definition. Expect a modern, fruit-forward style that still nods to classic Médoc structure.

Baron de Brane is the supple, Merlot‑driven second wine of the 2ème Cru Classé Château Brane‑Cantenac in Margaux, created as a tribute to 19th‑century owner Baron Jacques‑Maxime de Brane. Sourced mainly from deep gravel and clay-gravel plots on the estate’s 3rd terrace, it is crafted for earlier accessibility than the grand vin, showing silky tannins, generous red and black fruit, and the floral, aromatic finesse typical of Margaux’s gravelly terroir.
