Baron De Brane 2016 Margaux 75cl

This Bordeaux Red 2016 has a deep purple color, announcing its depth and concentration.

Tasting notes:

• Nose: Seductive aromas of ripe fruit such as blackberry and fleshy cherry blend harmoniously with elegant woodiness, revealing notes of toast, smoke and vanilla. Fresh nuances complete this aromatic bouquet.

The berries benefited from optimal ripening after the summer rains, with early growth cessation conducive to prolonged ripening. The Merlots, although less present that year, brought a complementary roundness and aromatic richness to the blend.

Wine characteristics:

• Grape varieties: 65% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc.
• Aging potential: 5 to 10 years.

Food pairing: This Bordeaux Red 2016 will go perfectly with dishes such as grilled duck breast, roast beef with a herb crust, or mature cheeses such as a Saint-Émilion.
