Chateau Brane Cantenac - Margaux - 2005

Margaux contains 1,413 hectares of vineyards, making it the second largest appellation in the Haut - Médoc (after Saint - Estèphe). Also located on the Left Bank of Gironde with very thin and gravelly soils. The wines are famous for their fragrance and perfume and are considered more feminine and slender than the wines of Pauillac, for example. The most famous estate in this commune is Château Margaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape, but as with all red Bordeaux, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec are also used (though the latter two are used less extensively).
