A deep, inky purple hue hints at the concentration within. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a touch of violet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet remarkably smooth, with flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle spice. The tannins are well- integrated, providing structure without overpowering
the fruit. A lingering finish showcases notes of dark chocolate and a hint of earthiness.
 
Château de Cranne is a family wine estate from 1856, situated in the
heart of the Bordeaux, in the commune of Donzac. Spread over
33ha, the vineyard offers a mosaic of terroirs and allows them to produce a wide range of wines.
Since 1856, the Lacoste family has been settled in the hillsides of Bordeaux and the 7th generation is currently working within the château.

Château de Cranne represents the know-how of 6 generations of winegrowers. It was in 2005 that Vincent Lacoste, 6th generation, settled at the château.
For 3 years, he observed, listened and understood the land in order to shape and enhance the estate where he grew up, giving the lands the care and respect they deserve.

The fruit of this work is focused on authenticity, the uniqueness of these terroirs and the quality of the wines. He obtained the Organic Agriculture certification in 2009.
