Decanter bewerte (12/2024) Château Brane Cantenac 2022 wie folgt: „Crushed velvet smoothness and almost weightless purity. Gorgeous aromatics – wild flowers, bramble fruit and soft cinnamon. Bright berry fruit, salty mineral touches and a hint of liquorice create charm and depth. This exudes Margaux elegance with bounce, finesse and fleshiness. Already so enjoyable but built to develop further. An utterly delicious wine that captures the essence of the vintage..“ – 98 Punkte
Parker’s WA bewertete (09/2025) Château Brane-Cantenac 2022 wie folgt: „Juicy and extremely impressive fruit quality, this harnesses the best of 2022 and is one of the wines of the vintage. You feel the texture and the power of the fruit, streaks of cocoa, liquorice, and rose petals, totally love it. The biggest alcohol of the series, and certainly you get a touch of crème de cassis and ripe fresh fig, carefully delivered with great texture to the tannins. This was the year that Henri Lurton passed the estate over to his four children while remaining as general manager, and also planted Malbec for the first time in the vineyard. Harvest September 7 to October 10, 315hl/h yield, 100% new oak barrels for ageing. Eric Boissenot consultant, Henri Lurton owner, Christophe Capdeville technical director. I have given this wine 98 points consistently every time I have tasted it, and truly it is excellent“ – 98 Punkte
vvWine.ch bewertete (03/2024) Château Brane-Cantenac 2020 wie folgt: „Umwerfende Nase, tief, sehr tief, ein Schnüffelwein, dunkle Frucht, Veilchen, subtile Röstnote, mineralische Untertöne. Am Gaumen druckvoll, straff, Kraft, Eleganz, Reife, Frische, alles ist an seinem Platz. Ausgezeichnete Länge. Ein grosser Wein, keine Frage. Für eine kleine Ewigkeit gebaut“ – 98 Punkte
Decanter bewertete (01/2023) Château Brane-Cantenac 2020 wie folgt: „Heady and expressive on the nose, seductive tones of ripe fruit and perfumed flowers. Gorgeous intensity on the palate, rich, round and ripe – gently chewy – but cool and refreshing too. This has a dynamic undercurrent with tannins that are fine but firm giving a slightly narrow frame. It’s a bit more serious than some, brooding, but clearly well made with definition. There’s a confidence here, vibrant and detailed fruit with an excellent lingering impression of the terroir in the slightly salty, chalky, graphite touch. Layered and well built with supreme classicism. A top buy. I’d like to own this one! .“ – 97 Punkte
Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (02/2025) Château Brane-Cantenac 2022 wie folgt: „An undeniable star in Margaux, the 2022 Château Brane-Cantenac checks in as a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 1% each Cabernet Franc, Carménère, and Petit Verdot. This deep purple-hued beauty offers up a sensational perfume of darker currants and cassis that gives way to more floral, spicy oak and graphite nuances with air. With flawless overall balance, ripe, velvety tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish, this riveting Brane-Cantenac already offers pleasure, yet I wouldn’t be surprised to see this firm up with 4-5 years of bottle age, only to reemerge later and drink beautifully for 30+ years. It’s one of the truly greats in the appellation, and readers will love to have this beauty in the cellar“ – 99 Punkte
