2023 Château Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Carmenere. 

The 2023 vintage was the second warmest on record here, yet the wine is elegant and fresh with no signs of excessive heat. Perhaps thanks to the favourable soils on the plateau and their ability to help the vines deal with hydric stress. The nose is bright with layers of sweet red fruits, rose petal and violet. The round, creamy palate turns into darker cassis and blackcurrant, balanced with good acidity. Despite the highest tannin level ever documented, they are already so well integrated. This is a very strong showing indeed and no doubt one of Margaux’s standouts. 

Drink 2030 - 2052

Our score: 17.5/20

About this wine

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
