Tom Cannavan January - 2005
Tom Cannavan
Very dark crimson. Immediate ripeness and harmony on the nose, with glossy blackcurrant fruit and a touch of chocolate. There's just a slick of coffeeish oak beneath. The palate doesn't quite deliver that quality of fruit at present, with a massive dry tannic extract coating the palate, and a savoury plumskin quality of bittersweet fruit just showing into the finish. There is plenty of spicy, toasty underpinning oak, and a really grippy finish where liquorice and a touch of charcoal play against hints of sweeter fruit. Good structure.

The color is beautiful, the nose fine and the palate rich in fruity sensations. Margaux to the core, with a silky touch and tannins and a tender, fresh body. Could be more mature.

The color of rose hip tea, more interesting on the nose than the palate, with its truffle, tobacco and cassis aromatic profile. Lightly styled, with bright cassis and cranberry in the finish, this is a wine to drink sooner than later.

A big, thrusting, modern style of wine, packed with ripe black plum skin and vanilla flavors. To balance this power and fruit forward character, the typical 2004 freshness is very apparent, lifting the wine and giving it a vibrant character.

Just opening up now, this Brane-Cantenac offers immense drinking pleasure. At 10 years old, the tannins have softend and the aromatics have become more complex with violets and sweet spices in the finish.

Dark crimson with some muddiness at the rim. Macerated currants nose. Tough, rather simple, almost 'Australian' finish. A bit spindly and mean.

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.
