2017 Château Brane Cantenac

Vininformation

94 point - 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."

93 point - Decanter: "Dark cassis fruit notes run right through the body of the wine, the oak slightly overpowering on the attack but brought perfectly back into balance by the time you are halfway through. It's enjoyable and confident, there is plenty of character, and it stretches out nicely through the palate, maintaining interest. Accomplished winemaking."

92+ point - Robert Parker: "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Brane-Cantenac starts off a tad restrained and reluctant to show, opening out to notes of baked blackberries, plum preserves and crème de cassis with hints of cigar box and tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wearing a lot of muscular fruit with firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with great length. Needs time!"

Siden 1992 har Henri Lurton gjort det til sin mission, at producere en af de absolut bedste vine i hele Margaux - og det må siges at være lykkedes. Trods en større investering i teknologi i kælder og vinmark, er traditionerne og værdierne essentiel i produktionen af denne historiske Cru Classé vin. Der dyrkes primært Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot i marken, og slottet bevæger sig i adstadigt tempo hen imod økologi. Trods den bløde og tilgængelige stil, har vinen et stort lagringspotentiale og er et 'must buy' til enhver bordeauxelsker som værdsætter Margaux.
