Expert's opinions

Wine Enthusiast January - 2008
Wine Enthusiast
The fruit has become the main attraction here—layers of ripeness, tempered with an elegant smoothness. The tannins are certainly present in this powerful wine, but they are here to lend support, not dominate. With herbs and very clean black fruits, this is a wine to follow.

Dark, intense, beautiful and uniform color. Intense, refined nose with ripe fruit. Delicate on entry, flavorful in the middle, with class in the texture, the wine melts on the finish, long, meticulous in its grain, even if a touch of austerity remains in the persistence, which I consider positive. No need to rush.

Open-hearted, matured to perfection, immensely fragrant, with tobacco, herbs and a ripe cherry fruit. Creamy and round on the palate, the tannins are well integrated, the fruit still present. Long, ripe fruity finish.

There is a slightly bricking to the color as the wine matures. Tobacco leaf, currants, cedar, and garrigue create the nose. Silky, supple, and seductive on the medium-bodied palate, the fruit is soft, ripe, and fresh, with dusty tannins in the finish. Drink from 2022-2045.

Shows mineral and blackberry aromas, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a long, smoky, earthy, meaty and fruity aftertaste. Long and stylish. Very refined and beautiful.

Red berry fruit, spicy, but attractively plush. Very smooth, rich, coffeeish with quite lithe fruit and tannins. Very nice sweetness, open and attractive but quite light and attractively structured.

Falstaff May - 2006

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections, broad rim lightening, inviting red berry compote on the nose, fine wood spice, delicate hint of honey. Substantial on the palate, fresh acidity structure, powerful tannins, fine dried fruit touch on the finish, medium development potential. The best Brane in a long time.

Tasted blind. Still some blue in the crimson. Slightly simple Cabernet aromas. Thick and sweet start. A little bit plodding but no shortage of density. Stolid. Not especially refreshing.

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.
