"This 2019 vintage is universally acclaimed: it turns heads—the best of the modern era, at the pinnacle of its art, lively and captivating!"

“The 2019 Brane-Cantenac has proven to be brilliant and is well worth a closer look. Bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, pencil shavings, violets, loamy soil, and cardamom, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acidity, ripe tannins, and a beautifully balanced aromatic profile. It retains all the estate’s characteristic elegance, but with an added dimension of depth and intensity. It is the best Brane-Cantenac of the modern era and one of the great successes of the 2019 vintage.” (Wine Advocate 2022)

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.

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

About the wine:

Made exclusively from the château’s vineyards situated on deep gravel soils on the Brane plateau. The 2019 Brane-Cantenac has proven to be brilliant and deserves special attention. Bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, pencil shavings, violets, loamy soil, and cardamom, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acidity, ripe tannins, and a beautifully balanced aromatic profile. It retains all the estate’s characteristic elegance, but with an added dimension of depth and intensity. It is the best Brane-Cantenac of the modern era and one of the great successes of the 2019 vintage. 2029–2065

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 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.

About the wine:

Brane-Cantenac 2019 is wild and exotic from the very first sip. The aromas alone are dazzling. Very ripe black cherry, plum, spices, tobacco, new leather, menthol, and cinnamon make up this flamboyant Margaux. This 2019 is radiant and generous, while retaining a very classic structure. Here, the precision is simply unreal. In 2019, Brane-Cantenac is turning heads. It’s the kind of wine that offers tremendous quality for the price. 2029–2059

About the wine:

The nose is enchanting, like a woodland nymph. It delights us with notes of leather, dried flowers, and fresh red berries. What majesty on the palate! It is crystal-clear and caressing, its roundness never masking its freshness. A wine of great class, twirling and dancing.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 97/100

About the wine:

The nose is very delicate, captivating, and quintessentially Médoc—the epitome of those fine wines that emerge from gravelly soils. Blackcurrant bursts on the palate; it’s a delight. Everything is balanced and refined, with complex, velvety tannins. We’re no longer talking about aromas, but about bouquet. This is a wine of exceptional precision. The commitment to purity and delicacy—so masterfully executed at Brane-Cantenac—becomes a textbook example in this 2019 vintage. A true “ Favorite ” that we can’t wait to taste in 5, 10, or 15 years...

About the wine:

Favorite is in fine form. A superb, soft, deep, and complex nose. On the palate, it is at once full-bodied, velvety, elegant, smooth, light, and deep, with a myriad of nuances. It’s delicious.

About the wine:

Brane Cantenac has been on fire lately! Vintage after vintage, it’s truly at the peak of its artistry, and 2019 continues this momentum! I don’t know what’s better: the silky, supple, sensual, and sexy textures on the palate, or the complex array of aromas featuring roses, lilacs, violets, cherries, plums, tobacco leaves, earth, and herbs. The wine has texture, length, and purity, and has the potential to age and evolve for some thirty years. It’s a truly beautiful Brane Cantenac. 2027–2060
