(Out of stock)

Established in the 18th century, at which time it was known as “Gorce”, this large estate is located on the best gravelly outcrops of Cantenac. A century before the 1855 classification, it was considered one of the best second growths in the Médoc. In 1833, Baron de Brane (called “Napoleon of the Vines”) sold his estate in Pauillac, Brane-Mouton, and bought Gorce, which he renamed “Brane-Cantenac”, ten years later.

2016 Brane-Cantenac is deep garnet-purple colored. It is a little broody, with notes of tar and rubber giving way to a core of creme de cassis, baked plums, and boysenberries, plus hints of violets, espresso, and black olives. Medium-bodied and splendidly concentrated, the palate is a ripe, juicy black berry behemoth, featuring ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fruity.

Food Pairing: BEEF, VENISON, CHEESE
