Baron de Brane (Chateau Brane-Cantenac), Bordeaux Blanc, 2023

Baron de Brane is the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, a Margaux institution with deep roots in Bordeaux tradition. This Bordeaux Blanc blends Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon, creating a wine that balances bright acidity with subtle creaminess. The 2023 shows a bright yellow hue with green reflections, opening to aromas of ripe citrus, peaches, and hints of vanilla and floral notes. The Sémillon adds textural roundness that prevents the wine from being austere, making it approachable on release while remaining food-friendly and sophisticated. This is refined Bordeaux white—a testament to the château's commitment to quality at every level.
