Jean-Marc Quarin September - 2023
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense, young and purple colour. Very aromatic and subtle nose, pure and ripe fruit. Touch of ink. Meticulous on the entry, particularly aromatic in the middle, the wine develops powerfully, with deep flavours, with grace in the texture. Very long finish, delicately fruity, liquorice and oaky. It's formidable and unspittable!

Stunning nose, deep, very deep, a wine to sniff, dark fruit, violets, subtle roasted note, mineral undertones. On the palate powerful, taut, strength, elegance, maturity, freshness, everything is in its place. Excellent length. A great wine, no question. Built for a small eternity. 2027-2050

With pungent notes of flowers, tobacco leaf, blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis, smoke, and wet earthy nuances, the perfume is in full force. The fruits on the palate offer purity, elegance, lift, and silky tannins, which is a good thing, because you want as much of these gorgeous, sweet, pure, red fruits as possible. The velvet and silk finish is a treat to taste and experience. This is another stellar vintage for Brane Cantenac, an estate that has been on a non-stop roll. This is a wow wine that fans of the estate should run, not walk, and buy as for now, prices are still more than reasonable. Drink from 2025-2055.

Intense, complex and layered nose, really fine oak toast and mocha notes with ripe and pure fruit. Lovely balance on the palate, very pure cabernet flavours, ripe black currant, dark plum and tobacco with super polished but present and refreshing tannin, layered with a fine spiciness and very long supple finish.

WINE REVIEW ONLINE : Château Brane-Cantenac, in the Margaux appellation, rests on one of This is a lovely example of Margaux style. Ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, red cherry and plum fruits are laced with hints of violets, smoke, vanilla and baking spices plus subtle tones of herbs and earth. On the palate, it is impressive for the purity of its fruit plus its sleek and silky texture. The 2020 Brane-Cantenac is an exemplary Margaux that will begin to show its best in another 5 to 10 years and will cellar well for 20 years beyond that.

Has lost none of its seductive character, its great aromatic complexity, its elegance and finesse, but also its particular vigour, depth and length. Once again one of the best wines of the year.

Tasted blind. Deepest crimson. Intensely aromatic with sweet, ripe fresh black fruits. Such pure cassis. Firmly encased in its compact and polished tannins. Concentrated and plush but somehow still elegant. Spicy, fresh finish.

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 Margaux wines.

The estate's history 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. Known at the time as the "Napoleon of the vines", he helped elevate the cru among the Médoc's finest references. For several generations, the Lurton family has overseen the estate, pursuing a constant quest for precision and parcel expression.

The vineyard lies on hillcrests of deep gravel mixed with sand and clay, a terroir particularly favourable to Cabernet Sauvignon, the majority grape variety in the blend. This composition gives Château Brane-Cantenac wines a straight structure, refined aromatic intensity and remarkable ageing 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 cru's consistent quality and its unmissable status among Margaux's collectible wines.
