Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2023 Château Brane-Cantenac checks in as 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carménère, and 1% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in all new French oak. Impressive aromatics of ripe red, blue, and black fruits intermix with graphite, smoky tobacco, and spice on the nose. It's deep, dense, and concentrated on the palate, with integrated acidity and ripe tannins. This is shockingly concentrated, pure, and just a brilliant 2023 that will evolve gracefully for 30+ years. Drink 2028-2058.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Brane-Cantenac, a Second Grand Cru Classé of Margaux, is a historic name in the Médoc, with origins dating back to the 18th century. Its history is marked by the figure of Baron Hector de Brane, a visionary nicknamed the "Napoleon of the Vines." The Lurton family, owners for several generations, is committed to perpetuating this legacy on the prestigious Cantenac plateau. Today, the château's team continues to craft wines of great elegance, precision, and complexity, with remarkable aging potential. The Brane-Cantenac style is distinguished by its aromatic refinement and silky texture, a signature typical of the great wines of the Margaux appellation. In addition to its main wine, the château also produces Le Baron de Brane, a more accessible second wine that offers a beautiful introduction to the Margaux terroir. Also noteworthy is Margaux de Brane Cantenac - Margaux de Henri Lurton, a more contemporary interpretation of the potential of this cru classé. The estate works notably with appellations such as Second Growths, which extend its signature with consistency. Among the most closely followed cuvées are Château Brane-Cantenac, Château Brane-Cantenac 'Le Baron de Brane', and Château Brane-Cantenac Blanc, all useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
