The 2019 Brane-Cantenac is wild and exotic from the very first taste.  The aromatics alone are dazzling.  Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco, new leather, menthol and cinnamon are all kicked up in this flamboyant Margaux.  The 2019 is radiant and generous, yet also retains a very classic sense of structure.  The precision here is just unreal.  In 2019, Brane-Cantenac is an absolute head-turner.  It is the sort of wine that abounds in Bordeaux, a wine that offers tremendous quality and relative value.

Antonio Galloni - January 2022

Derived exclusively from the château's holdings on the deep gravel soils of the plateau of Brane, the 2019 Brane-Cantenac has turned out brilliantly and merits a special effort to seek out. Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, pencil shavings, violets, sweet loamy soil and cardamon, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a beautifully seamless, perfumed profile. Retaining all the estate's signature elegance but with an extra dimension of depth and intensity, it's the finest Brane-Cantenac of the modern era and one of the great successes of the 2019 vintage.  William Kelley

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carmenère, 1% Petit Verdot.
Dark glowing crimson. Intense and full of life! Henri Lurton's reforms seem to be paying off in a vibrant wine that soars above the median. Dry, savoury, long finish and lots of leathery interest on the way there. Tannins are very well covered by the array of fruit and veg flavours.
