Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2. Cru Classé 2018 i trækasse

"97-98 points. It has a particularly aromatic complexity" - Vinum Magazin
"96 points. The wine is silky, lifted, long and pure" - Jeff Leve
"96 points. Now performing as one of the top Margaux estates" - 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.

Anmeldelser af Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2. Cru Classé 2018 

97-98/100 Vinum Magazin
"Like en Primeur, it has a particularly aromatic complexity, with subtle accents of black olives and red berries; the tannins are of a special class and the finale literally sounds endless; superb without denying the vintage."

96/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Elegant, fresh and refined, the wine offers layers of sweet, ripe, fresh, red berries, smoke, flowers, wet earth, herbs, spice box and tobacco leaf in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is silky, lifted, long and pure, displaying a beautiful depth of flavor in the finish. The wine blends 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot."

"This is now performing as one of the top Margaux estates. Their latest release shows structure, elegant black fruits and rich tannins. Densely textured and vibrantly fruity, the wine has a fine future. Drink from 2027."

"Fascinating nose, very Margaux, super floral, profound, stony, cool and yet with ripe cherry fruit, blueberries. Very slim at the start, what an elegance, firm and juicy, fresh and with crisp, red berries, the wine shows structure, freshness, juiciness and, despite a lot of pressure, a lot of finesse, the tannins are of excellent quality, the finish is long-lasting, dark fruity and sublime Could still improve!"

95/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of mushroom, meat, bark and iodine with blackberries and blackcurrants, following through to a full body with firm, creamy tannins that give structure and form to the wine. Tight on the finish. Long and persistent with presence. Drink after 2025."

95/100 Decanter
"This is a serious wine, with well constructed walls and floor, but it's full of life too, with brambled, succulent and generously-extracted fruit on the nose. It has less immediate charm than some in the appellation and will take a while to come round, but it has clear ageing ability and is one to savour. You feel the precision and confidence in how it presents itself. 1% Petit Verdot makes up the blend - there was no Carmenère in the grand vin in 2018. 45hl/ha yield. 70% new oak. Drinking Window 2027 - 2042"

95/100 Jeb Dunnuck
"A quintessential Margaux as well as one of the finest wines I've tasted from this estate, the 2018 Château Brane-Cantenac is based on 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all aged in 70% new French oak. Beautiful cassis and mulberry fruits as well as notes of leafy tobacco, spice, cedarwood, and spring flowers emerge from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant, it has loads of fruit, a seamless texture, and a good spine of acidity. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 30 years or more."

95/100 Vinous - Antonio Galloni
"The 2018 Brane-Cantenac opens with a super-classic bouquet of dried herbs, pencil shavings, licorice and mint. Medium in body and wonderfully nuanced, Brane-Cantenac marries the natural richness of the year with a classic structural feel. This is one of the most elegant, restrained 2018s readers will come across. I loved it."

95/100 Izak Litwar
"Typical Margaux elegance and finesse, combined with a powerful approach. Strong structure, lovely complexity, great interplay between aromatic berries and creamy tannin on the palate, and long finish. It's an impressive effort, indeed."
