One of the original Second Growths of the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, Rauzan-Ségla's 51 hectares of mineral rich soils begin on the banks of the Gironde, on the left bank of Bordeaux. A complex mix of gravel, clay and limestone subsoil imparts a richness and complexity to the Cabernet (62%), Merlot (36%), Cabernet Franc (1%) and Petit Verdot (1%) grapes used to produce this powerfully intense and elegant wine. The estate was last sold in 1994 to the Wertheimer family of Chanel, who employed former Château Latour winemakers, David Orr and John Kolasa. Nicolas Audebert, the former winemaker at Cheval des Andes, the LVMH property in Mendoza Argentina, was hired to succeed John Kolasa following his retirement in 2014.

LE BARON DE BRANE Second wine of Chateau Brane-Cantenac, Margaux

Cheval des Andes is the fruit of an encounter between two exceptional estates, and a perfect reflection of the Franco-Argentine style. This unique alliance combines the savoir-faire of the Saint-Emilion Château Cheval Blanc Premier Grand Cru Classé A, and the altitude terroir of Terrazas de los Andes.

Chateau Cantenac Brown is a third growth (3ème Cru Classé) Chateau located in the Haut-Medoc appellation bordering the western side of the Margaux appellation. Meticulous care is taken in the vineyard; grapes are hand-harvested and sorted prior to fermentation. Maturation takes place in 50-70% new French oak barriques with the remainder one-year old oak for 12-15 months. Chateau Cantenac Browns style highlights the typicity of Margaux displaying a fragrant bouquet, medium body, fresh cassis fruit and elegant structure.
