Jeannie Cho Lee January - 2021

A gorgeous Brane-Cantenac that is just opening up now. Elegant, refined with silky tannins and layers of delicate, well defined dark fruits and crushed red flowers. Now is a great time to enjoy this wine at its youthful peak.

Superb nose, complex and deep. Tender, smooth and once again melting palate, offering a lovely richness. The wine finishes with deep flavors and a silky, noble texture. Ideal at the table.

Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, and soft in texture, the wine opens with its blend of flowers, truffle, tobacco leaf, and currants. The wine is vibrant and fresh with an edge to the red berries in the finish. This is clearly in its drinking window. Drink 2022-2035.

Strong ruby garnet, delicate rim lightening. Delicate animal nuances, dark berry compote, some nougat, finely spiced, inviting, ripe bouquet. Juicy, round, freshly structured, ripe cherry fruit, lemony nuances, perfectly matured, harmonious.

A solid, chunky structure is the hallmark of this big wine. The fruit is black, full of dark tannins. Perhaps it lacks subtlety, but that is replaced with great power and potential.

Very nice nose, with lovely perfume suggesting game and coffee, with fine red fruit aromas. There is decent fruit on the palate too, though perhaps this is lacking a little when set against drying tannins. A lighter style for sure, and though balanced, slightly disappointing and rates only as very good on this showing.

Mid ruby. Lots of solid development even if not an ethereal heart-stopping moment on the nose. Neat and well balanced and perhaps at its peak already. Fresh fruit and a bit of lusciousness. Certainly no hint of underripeness.

Mature nose, cedarwood, tobacco, dark fruit. On the palate with largely melted tannins, shows pressure and length, warm in fruit, cool in expression. Long, dark fruit-driven finish.

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
Steadfast ruby red in colour, and this is exceptional, really is showing beautifully, with plenty of dark well-teased-out berry fruits, great balance and freshness, cigar, tobacco, crayon, graphite, cassis, all wrapped up in silky tannins with the understated charm and drinkability of old school Bordeaux. Cool July, sunny August and September, and great late season, saving the ‘vintage of the millennium’ after a cool start to the year. Jacques Boissenot consultant, Henri Lurton owner and estate director. The only Brane ever produced without any press wine, because it was already so concentrated. Christophe Capdeville, cellar master since Henri’s first vintage, became technical director in this vintage.

Château Château Brane Cantenac
Château Brane Cantenac
Château Brane Cantenac

Château Brane-Cantenac is one of the great names of the Margaux appellation, classified as a Second Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification. Located on the gravelly plateau of Cantenac, in the heart of the Médoc, this wine embodies the elegance, aromatic precision and tannic finesse characteristic of the great wines of Margaux.

The history of the estate dates back to the 18th century, but its modern identity was established in the early 19th century when Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane acquired the property and gave it his name. Nicknamed at the time the "Napoleon of the vines," he helped elevate the cru among the references of the Médoc. For several generations, the Lurton family has managed the estate, pursuing a constant quest for precision and parcel expression.

The vineyard rests on hillsides of deep gravel mixed with sand and clay, a terroir particularly favorable to Cabernet Sauvignon, the majority grape variety in the blend. This composition gives the wines of Château Brane-Cantenac a straight structure, refined aromatic intensity and a remarkable aging potential.

Vintages such as Château Brane-Cantenac 1989, Château Brane-Cantenac 2000, Château Brane-Cantenac 2005, Château Brane-Cantenac 2009, Château Brane-Cantenac 2016 or Château Brane-Cantenac 2020 illustrate the qualitative consistency of the cru and its essential status among the collectible wines of Margaux.
