Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
This light ruby colored wine was showing signs of age. With complex aromatics of tobacco, truffle, cassis and fresh leaves were a pleasure to spend with, Medium bodied with elegant textures, the wine finished with spicy cassis.

Beautifullly perfumed with gorgeous flavours and an array of floral and spicy notes. Fresh, lively, mature but still in its youtful side with classic Brane-Cantenac flavours and very long finish.

Looking at the evolution of its color, one cannot imagine that this wine has so much vitality on the palate. It smells of leather, meat, fruits, spices. Its palate is nothing but a pure delectable caress. Subtle tannin grains. Very noble origin. A pleasure today.

RVF Magazine It reveals very fine and subtle aromas that evoke pinot (floral notes). The palate possesses superb grace, all in finesse and delicacy, with great youthfulness on the finish, well served by its minerality. Very beautiful brilliance.

Decadent style; almost overpowering. Plenty of ripe fruit along with an aroma of earth and tanned leather. Medium- to full-bodied, with a very earthy and ripe fruit character.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
It has a strange nose, unorthodox with almost sweet Sauternes-like aromas infusing the kirsch and gamey scents. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshier than almost any Brane-Cantenac from the 1990s, though it clearly does not possess nearly the same complexity or breeding as the preceding vintage. It seems to glide across the mouth, but that finish is short and you seem to forget it too soon. You would finish a bottle even if it is nowhere near a great Margaux for the vintage, but it does not come close to repeating the brilliant 1989 Brane-Cantenac.

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.
