Rated estate (2020 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The wine owes its class and character to the heart of the Cantenac plateau and its deep siliceous and clayey gravel soils, which the estate largely shares with Rauzan-Ségla. Under the direction of Henri Lurton, it consistently demonstrates—with a rarity of consistency—a suppleness and aromatic finesse all its own, making it highly sought after by wine lovers who appreciate what they expect from a fine Margaux. In the most recent vintages, it seems to have taken another step forward in the precision with which it expresses the terroir. The second wine, Baron-de-Brane, shares the same aesthetic, with supple tannins that should appeal to many restaurateurs and wine lovers.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

One might wonder whether, in a vintage like 2009, Henri Lurton would succeed in staying true to the spirit of the vineyard, which prioritizes elegance above all else. Admittedly, his wine—clad in an elegant inky robe with garnet highlights—displays a slight youthful austerity on the finish, proof that it has time ahead of it. But after a supple attack, the palate combines genuine richness, texture, and substantial body with an inviting roundness and great finesse in the tannins. Add to this an intense and complex bouquet (fruit, spices, a hint of smokiness), and the result is a “true Brane”—balanced and charming—that has everything it takes to frustrate body-building enthusiasts. Equally round, pleasant, and well-structured, the second wine, Baron de Brane 2009, also earns a star.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 91/100 (Outstanding wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

With a medium-to-deep garnet color, the 2009 Brane-Cantenac offers warm notes of red and black plums, morello cherries, and blackberries, with hints of gingerbread and earth. Medium-bodied, elegant, supple, and full-bodied, it delivers a lively freshness and an earthy finish.

Wine rated 95/100

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

A remarkable wine that gets better and better with each tasting and evolves beautifully as it gains depth. Aristocratic in style, with very refined tannins and a well-balanced palate, it has a long, lingering finish.

About the estate:

This Second Growth is led with conviction and talent by Henri Lurton, who has both a truly magnificent terroir and modern facilities at his disposal. There, he crafts very refined wines, in what could be described as the Margaux signature style—without heaviness or stylistic affectation, but with delicate fruit. The estate has just released a series of impressive vintages that are propelling it toward the very top of the appellation. Now is the time to enjoy them.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

Beautiful aromas of crushed blueberries and flowers give way to a full-bodied palate, with notes of earth, sliced mushrooms, and dried strawberries. Hints of lemon zest. Slightly earthy on the finish. Best after 2018.
