Baron de Brane (Chateau Brane-Cantenac), Margaux, 2021
The second wine of a Second Growth, and a genuinely useful way into Margaux. Baron de Brane comes from Chateau Brane-Cantenac, run by Henri Lurton since 1992, and it's assembled from the vats chosen for suppleness rather than sheer structure, then aged about a year in barrel. The 2021 is Merlot-led, roughly half Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon close behind, from a cool and classically proportioned vintage that gave Bordeaux on the fresher, more restrained side. That's not a knock. It means this drinks well now rather than demanding ten years of patience, while still carrying the floral lift that makes Margaux worth the trouble in the first place.
