Baron de Brane is the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, a second growth château owned by Henri Lurton and one of the oldest and largest properties in Margaux. It's crafted with an emphasis on approachability while still reflecting the elegance and structure of the grand vin, offering both complexity and early drinkability due to its balanced fruit and refined tannins.
On the palate, this wine is smooth and rounded, with soft tannins and moderate acidity. It presents flavours of red and dark berries, along with touches of plum and blackcurrant, layered with a slight earthy, mineral undertone characteristic of Margaux. The finish is elegant, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of graphite. Enjoy it together with grilled meats, roasted poultry, and dishes with mushrooms or root vegetables.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2030
What the critics say:
"The 2020 Baron de Brane is a heady, exuberant wine. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, chocolate, lavender, spice and new leather are all beautifully delineated. Fine tannins, lifted aromatics and succulent fruit are all very nicely balanced. The 2020 is quite flashy yet retains a good bit of energy, too, with floral top notes that lift the finish nicely. It's a gorgeous second wine from Henri Lurton and Brane-Cantenac."
"Attractive aromas of dark and blue fruit, some violets, walnut and graphite. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins and a delicate, vivid blue fruit character. Chalky finish. Try after 2024."
