Jean-Marc Quarin 98 points www.quarin.com Mise en bouteilles en juillet 2022. Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et pur. Bouche magique et fondante, extrêmement aromatique, débutant tendre, pour finir grasse entre le milieu et la finale, sur une immense longueur, où le goût ne cesse de monter. C’est formidable. La plus belle réussite du cru avec le 2015. 2030 – 2060
Neal Martin 95-97 points www.vinous.com The 2020 Brane-Cantenac was picked September 14–28 and includes 13% vin de presse. It has exactly the same blend as last year since Henri Lurton and his team did not limit the Grand Vin to the 30-hectare plateau, a similar approach to Pichon-Baron when they reorganized their own vineyard. I allowed my sample an hour to open (during which I was discussing the wine with Lurton over Zoom). It has a beautifully defined bouquet of blackberry, wild hedgerow, fresh mint and light bay leaf scents. I have sometimes found a little greenness on the nose, but there is none in 2020. The palate is very well balanced with finely chiseled, precise tannins and beautifully judged acidity. Harmonious and poised, this is an absolutely fantastic Brane-Cantenac, in my mind superior to the previous two vintages, exuding wonderful mineralité on the finish. A must-buy.
Yves Beck 95-96 points www.yvesbeck.wine Beaucoup de fraîcheur et de finesse dans ce bouquet avec d’agréables nuances d’eucalyptus et de menthe suivies de nuances de fèves de cacao. L’élevage est également apparent, mais parfaitement intégrés, et finalement les nuances fruitées ne manquent pas de se manifester, au travers de notes de baies noires. En bouche le vin est dense, friand et parfaitement équilibré. Il associe idéalement fraîcheur et puissance et ne tombe pas dans l’opulence. Un vin puissant, frais et persistant. 2026-2050
Antonio Galloni 94-96 points www.vinous.com The 2020 Brane-Cantenac is deep, fleshy and savory. Strong Cabernet accents open first, leading to a core of inky dark fruit, lavender, spice, mint and chocolate. There is some new oak that needs to integrate, but time should take care of that. I especially admire the sense of classicism and energy here. This is a superb showing from Brane-Cantenac and the team led by Henri Lurton.
Jane Anson 95 points www.decanter.com (at Primeur week tastings in Bordeaux, 01 May 2021) Violet-edged, lovely vibrant colour. A low-yield wine that has kept an impressively fresh core, with expressive fruits and a vibrant grip through the centre of the wine. Powerful, tight tannins and the concentration becomes clearer in the glass, a ton of bilberry, sage and rosemary aromatics, with a generous helping of graphite and crushed stone. All of these wines are going to need very careful ageing – although the reasonable alcohols should help. A yield of 31hl/ha. 18 months ageing in a mix of new oak barrels and amphoras. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenère completes the blend. Tasted twice. Drinking Window 2028 – 2044
