Jean-Marc Quarin September - 2023
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense and slightly evolved color. Very aromatic, fine, fruity nose, smelling nicely of cedar. Delicate on the entry, with immediately a sensation of class in the touch, the wine maintains itself well in the middle. It advances gracefully and deeply towards a long finish, with the right amount of maturity and freshness. A beautiful surprise from a small yield (38.5 hl/ha). Blend: 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc.

Garnet red. Diffuse nose with a hint of brambly fruit. Light and easy-going, the acidity present. No great complexity. Short finish.

While not delivering the clarity and density of the 2000 and 2001, this has balance and lilting freshness, focusing on earthy, campfire notes, touches of crushed cassis and cherry pit. A challenging growing season, with an excellent end of year in the run up to harvest.

Medium bodied, with a firmness to the tannins, a nose with a lot of tobacco tinged charm, red fruits and an earthy, forest and leafy component. The wine lacks the elegance and charm often enjoyed in subsequent vintages. The wine was made blending 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.

A dumb nose. The palate is soft, elegant and supple with peppery black fruits. Low tannins, good balanced with a bitter cherry finish. But it lacks complexity and depth to warrant a higher mark.

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.
