Decanter

The Merlot-driven blend offers a lush, succulent texture with forward, ripe black cherry and plum flavors. It is noted for its freshness, energy, and a clean, almost salty, tang on the mid-palate.

The 2022 Château Brane-Cantenac Le Baron de Brane is a supple, elegant, and charming Margaux wine, characterized by its vibrant, fresh, and fruity profile with notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum, and floral hints like violet and peony. The wine, a Merlot-dominant blend, offers a velvety texture and well-integrated, fine tannins, making it approachable for early drinking but with enough structure to age for a decade or more. It's considered a standout second wine, praised for its brightness, purity of fruit, and overall balance.

The 2022 Baron de Brane is an excellent example of a high-quality second wine, providing a concentrated and generous expression of fruit with a beautiful balance of finesse and generosity. It's a wine that delivers brightness and effortlessness, a lighter expression of the estate's Grand Vin, but with plenty of depth and character.
