Jean-Marc Quarin September - 2023
Jean-Marc Quarin
Vermilion and blackberry colour. Moderately aromatic nose, presenting an ageing bouquet. Nuances of fruit, cedar and coffee. Fruity and simple on the palate, with a hint of acidity on the finish.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This is a charming, soft, fruity, straightforward wine, with medium body and a clean, undistinguished 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.
