Le Baron de Brane Margaux
Le Baron de Brane, the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, is an exceptional offering that combines quality and value. This wine is crafted from the younger vines of the esteemed Brane-Cantenac vineyard, which benefits from the region's gravelly soils and optimal microclimate. Winemaker Henri Lurton oversees the meticulous production process. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving their vibrant character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with around 20% new oak, adding subtle complexity and structure. Each vintage of Le Baron de Brane offers a delightful nose of red berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of fresh fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a touch of spice, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. This wine embodies the prestige of Margaux while providing excellent value, making it an ideal choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
Ferrière (BIO ORGANIC)
The 2021 Ferrière (BIO ORGANIC) from Margaux, Bordeaux is a true testament to the quality and dedication of Château Ferrière. This wine boasts a deep, ruby red colour with shimmering hints of purple. On the nose, one is immediately struck by the delicate and complex aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, intertwined with subtle hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, this wine delivers a smooth and velvety texture with an exquisite balance of dark fruits and oak, culminating in a long, lingering finish. The use of organic practices in the production of this wine truly shines through in its pure and natural flavours. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for years to come to experience its full potential. A must-try for any Bordeaux lover.
Château Lanessan Haut-Médoc
Château Lanessan continues to be a true bargain in the Bordeaux world. Lanessan produces wines that at first seem firm, but flesh out with marvellous fruit with good richness. Lanessan is also a very consistant producer, creating wines of quality from questionable vintages. The great thing is that you don't have to worry too much about 'questionable' vintage when looking at this superb 2009. The Bordeaux Gods have definitely been smiling on communes and produced wines of utmost concentration and power. Lanessan did not miss out with the licquorice, spice and blackcurrant rich wine that will reward the Bordeaux bargain hunter for the next decade or more.
