Le coup de coeur se porte bien. Superbe nez doux, profond et complexe. Bouche à la fois ample, fondante, élancée, suave, aérienne et profonde, faite de mille complexités. C'est délicieux.

This shows exotic aromas of blackberries, wet earth, chocolate and fresh basil leaves. It’s full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Intriguing and real on the palate.

A thoroughly moreish and high-quality Brane Cantenac, this is silky and seductive with impressive extraction of the tannins giving backbone and support to brambled and cassis fruits. Plenty of crushed stone and spice to add a gourmet edge alongside the just-smoked oak. Extremely high quality and one of the best Branes I've tasted at this stage.

Elegantes Bouquet, schwarze kirschen, Johannisbeeren, Edelhözler, Blumen, zart kakao. Gute Dichte, safftig, fein adstringierend, elegante Säure, Himbeeren, Brombeeren, zart Schokolade im Finish, gute Länge.

Le cru fait fort et signe une des belles révélations de l'appellation. Parfaitement dessiné, avec un équilibre souverain et surtout une remarquable gestion des tanins qui se fondent à merveille. Pur et droit.

This shows lots of currant, chocolate, tobacco and herbal aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Refined and complex. Needs at least four or five years to come together. Better after 2025.

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.
