{"product_id":"margaux-cru-classe","title":"Château Brane Cantenac Margaux Cru Classé 2013","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince Henri Lurton took over in 1992, he has made it his mission to produce the best possible wine, reinforcing Brane’s position as a second classified growth in 1855. The result is a fine wine that perfectly expresses its remarkable terroir. The rainfall marked this vintage: a mild and very rainy winter, a delayed flowering, an unusual spring freshness, some moderate rains at the time of ripening… But the rather mild summer made up for part of the delay. Despite their very low yields and their natural precocity, the Merlots did not provide a sufficient level of quality, hence their historically low proportion in the Brane-Cantenac blend. Conversely, thanks to the precocity of the Brane plateau, the Cabernet Sauvignon was able to achieve good quality on this great terroir. Harvesting took place between 25 September and 7 October, from vines averaging 35 years of age. Vinification in oak casks, with ageing 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 70% were new. The blend in the finished wine comprised 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a pretty nose featuring raspberry and strawberry scents, floral notes, and a hint of sweet spices. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite simple with pleasant flavours, accessible and supple on the finish. A success in this vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Brane Cantenac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54427618574673,"sku":"C0200113","price":74.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1090\/0817\/files\/C0200113.jpg?v=1785235941","url":"https:\/\/winecard.co.uk\/products\/margaux-cru-classe","provider":"Winecard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
