Le Baron de Brane Margaux L. Lurton 1989
Le Baron de Brane is a red wine produced by L. Lurton in the renowned Appellation Margaux Contrôlée. Bottled directly at the château in Cantenac, Gironde, this 1989 vintage represents the classic winemaking traditions of the area. The wine carries a rich history highlighted on its label, dating back to 1820 when Baron Hector de Brane sold his properties in Pauillac to acquire an exceptional vineyard in Margaux. Thirty years later, determined to leave a lasting mark on this magnificent terroir, he decided to give it his own name, stating that out of weakness or pride, he had faith in his name and desired to place his property under the patronage of Brane-Cantenac.
