- Terroir: Famous for its deep, gravelly and mineral-rich soils, Brane possesses some of Margaux’s very finest plots.

Vines’ average age: 35 years old.
- Vinification: Harvest dates between 22 September -17 October. Vinification in oak casks.
- Aging: 18 months in French oak barrels, with 70% new.
- Tasting Notes: A crisp red currant and cranberry nose laced with tobacco, cedar and chalk. The palate is well defined and beautifully balanced, delivering crisp acidity and fine tannin. This is unashamedly taut and linear, but it displays commendable energy on the mineral-driven finish. Great potential to age.
