2021 Château Brane-Cantenac

Sale price $85.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Lay Down

Precision and freshness define the 2021 Château Brane-Cantenac, which overcame a cool, rainy vintage through meticulous vineyard care and blending. The estate’s gravel-rich soils ensured excellent drainage, preserving purity and vibrancy in the fruit. Aromas of bright red cherry, cranberry, and wildflowers lead to a focused palate of tart berries, graphite, and cedar, with fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects classical Margaux finesse.

Wild pink flowers on the nose, with blackcurrant and cherry fruit, fragrant, almost sweet and sour, super inviting. Cool but concentrated fruit on the palate, supple, agile, ripe full and direct. It has a gorgeous weight on the palate, not plush - it's in keeping with the vintage for sure, but such a finessed, elegance to the frame. Lovely licks of minerality that don't overhwelm the wine and the flavours carry to a long finish. A great sense of fun, joy and delicate beauty. Pretty and super charming, a delicate take from Brane but so much to like with its subtle charm.

Beautiful finesse here that shows currants, roasted red chili pepper and a hint of charcoal, mineral and pencil shavings. Very refined and layered with a juicy, medium body and a long, composed finish. Classy and very layered. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Brane-Cantenac offers up aromas of sweet dark berries mingled with mint, vanilla pod and spices. It shows its élevage and malolactic fermentation in new oak more prominently than it did en primeur. Medium to full-bodied, with good depth and concentration, it's bright and velvety, with plenty of structuring barrel tannin and a vanillin-inflected finish. The quality of Brane's terroirs and a strict selection shows through, so if it can digest its oak more completely, this will prove exceptional.
