Le Baron de Brane, 2nd wine of Ch. Brane Cantenac, 2014

Two elements helped the Cabernet Sauvignon to reach the level of a great vintage in 2014: the grapes grew less after the rain in the summer and they began ripening earlier. The extension of the ripening cycle, due to their growth stopping earlier than the Merlot, allowed them to benefit magnificently from the sunny late summer season.
 
The high quality Merlot from the plateau, incorporated in smaller quantities than usual, provided an excellent complement to the blend bringing roundness and aromatic richness
