Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2. Cru Classé 2017 i trækasse

"97-98 points. Possesses dazzling charm and grace" - Vinum Magazin
"96 point. Alt er zen ..." - Houlberg
"94-96 points. A wine that will have power and great concentration" - Wine Enthusiast

Historien om det nyslåede 100 point-Margaux-slot starter allerede i 1600-tallet, under navnet Domaine Guilhem. Over de næste 200 år stiger vinens anseelse så vildt, at Baron de Brane i 1830’erne dropper det nuværende Mouton-Rothschild for at købe og lægge navn til Brane-Cantenac (!) 22 år senere får vinen status af 2. Cru Classé.

Brane-Cantenac har været dygtigt drevet af Lurton-familien siden 1925, men det er Henri Lurton, der siden 1992 har løftet Le Grand Vin op i ren verdensklasse. Hyldet af James Lawther MW som et TOP 10 Bordeaux Cru Classé-køb!

Fra 2010 er alle flasker forsynet med anti-forfalskning-hologrammer.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Anmeldelser af Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2. Cru Classé 2017 

97-98/100 Vinum Magazin
"For several years, Brane has shone with great harmony and freshness, dazzling elegance and delicacy. 2017 is no exception: the wine possesses dazzling charm and grace, freshness, polish, shine and great length; worth a sin."

"6 Thumbs Up. Den minder duftmæssigt meget om 2015'eren ... igen med et fadpræg, der næsten ikke fornemmes og en stor, cremet og blød duft, der dog ikke er helt så rund. Igen er det solbær, hindbær og jordbær, frisk, kompleks, rank og stolt. Der kommer dog lidt runde noter med røg, toast, nødder, tobak og atter bare så elegant. Det gælder også smagsmæssigt, hvor alt er zen ... bare med lidt støre tørhed end i 2015'eren. I munden er der igen denne fine, runde samt bløde frugt, svag vanilje og chokolade ... suppleret af friskhed, lidt knuste sten og præcis mineralitet. 96 point."

"While the wood flavors are palpable in this wine, so are the firm tannins and dense black fruit. These elements suggest a wine that will have power and great concentration while also generous blackberry fruits. Drink from 2024."

94/100 James Suckling
"A tight, focused center palate to this red with blackberries, dark chocolate, hazelnuts and smoke. Medium to full body, polished tannins and a juicy, lightly chewy mouthfeel. A blend of 74% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2022."

94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Offering an intoxicating mélange of floral, earthy and spicy scents along with cedar, tobacco and black raspberry notes, it’s very apparent something brilliant is about to happen. In the glass, you’ll find elegance and refinement. The fruits are on the red side but the tannins are so delicate, the juice so plentiful, that attention is elsewhere. From a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.76. It represents 60% of the harvest. The higher than usual percentage of the Grand Vin is due to the frost, which hit the parts of the vineyard customarily reserved for the second wine. The harvest took place from September 14 to October 10."

94/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"The 2017 displays a straight profile, marked by the straightness of Cabernet. This is a wine with a classic profile but also velvety in the expression of its tannins. Very beautiful elegance."

"Brane Cantenac was well-made, ripe fruit and tannin, quite complex and long. Splendid structure, backbone and length. Excellent for the vintage. Cantenac Brown was similarly excellent showing slightly more acidity and length."

93/100 Decanter
"A lovely wine that sits extremely prettily though the palate, with a seductive expression of florality and blackberry fruits. It's not as powerful as the past two years, but is skilfully worked with soft grilled oak notes. It doesn't sacrifice the excellent quality that this estate has been producing. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038"
