Château Brane Cantenac 2022 in Bordeaux Subskription

Auch wenn der Brane aus Cantenac in den letzten Jahren regelmäßig eines besonderen Blickes würdig war, so ist Henry Lurton mit seiner 2022er Ernte doch ein neuer Meilenstein und der bisher beste Brane Cantenac, den ich kenne, gelungen.

Dieser Margaux, der so ganz ohne Allüren daherkommt, zeigt schon in seinem Glasauftritt ein Manifest: visuell ist hier kein Durchkommen. Die Nase ist dicht und tief, und nur wenn man sich ihm mit Zeit hingibt, eröffnet er eine eudaimonische olfaktorische Labsal von feinster Distinktion, in der sich dunkelbeerige Fruchtnoten, auf die sich Würzaromen legen, Kaffeetöne und ein feiner floraler Zug vermischen.

Am Gaumen ist es dieses Amalgam aus Kraft, Bestimmtheit und Wille einerseits, das  in einem feinen Kontrast zur glasklaren Brillanz und der fast tänzelnden Leichtigkeit des sapiden Fruchtflusses steht.

Im Moment hemmt die Dichte seiner Struktur den Brane Cantenac noch daran, zum Gegenstand wohlfeiler Akklamation zu werden, weswegen man in als Faßmuster leicht unterschätzt.

Wer ihm ausreichend Zeit gewährt, wird zur rechten Zeit einen ganz großen Margaux gewahren.

The Wine Advocate

"A blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc, Carmenère and Petit Verdot, the 2022 Brane-Cantenac unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, crème de cassis, black truffles, loamy soil, burning embers and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, with a fleshy core of fruit, terrific concentration and lively acids, it concludes with a long, perfumed finish. This is a terrific 2022 that may rival or even surpass the 2019 if it realizes all its potential in bottle."

Decanter Magazine

"One of the standouts of the year - a wonderful wine with so much to like. Coffee, tobacco, liquorice, dark chocolate, blackcurrants and floral scents on the nose. Smooth, succulent and velvety, this is amazing, juicy and so bright and vibrant. Pure and so effortless, tannins are filling but fine and delicate and this has excellent clarity and purity of fruit. They really didn't try too hard but have still delivered a powerful wine with concentration and intensity yet brightness and such generosity of fruit and acidity which makes this so joyful. Simply wonderful. Harvest 7 September-10 October. Yield of 31.5hl/ha. 3.61pH. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere complete the blend. 42% production. 15.8% press wine. Ageing 18 months, 100% new oak. 3.57pH."

"74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carmenère, 1% Petit Verdot. Tasted at the château because Henri Lurton left the UGC tastings in 2022. Apparently the Airpulse system for mixing in air and management of the cap during red-wine fermentation (at low temperatures, around 26 °C) has been used here since 2019. Brane-Cantenac was the second to use it after Calon Ségur. Very soft extraction results. Cask sample.
Rich and round. Very gentle texture for a Cabernet-dominated wine, in which it is remarkably difficult to see the tannins. But apparently the IPT (measure of total phenolics, including tannins) is right up there. Henri Lurton agrees that when you taste it you can hardly see the tannins. Sappy and appetising. Persistent.
Drink 2025– 2042"

"Deeply colored, the wine opens with violets, lilacs, roses, cigar wrappers, creme de cassis, spice and lavender aromatics in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is pure silk and velvet. There is a beautiful elegance, symmetry, and balance you notice as soon as the wine graces your palate. There is length, purity, and refinement making this effortless to taste. The finish has no edges, leaving you with a wealth of sensuous fruits. Fans of Brane Cantenac should run, not walk, and buy this gem as prices continue to remain reasonable for a wine of this character, and quality. The wine blends 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 1% of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. The wine is 14.3% ABV, 3.61 pH. The harvest took place September 7 - October 4, with the Carmenere being picked October 10. This is the earliest start to a harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were 31.5% hectoliters per hectare. The Grand Vin was produced from only 42% of the harvest. Drink from 2027-2055."

"Jusqu'où Brane ira-t-il ? Couleur noire. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil, complexe et noble. Aérien dès l'entrée en bouche, avec énormément de saveurs, le vin offre une texture minutieuse, un corps fondant, un toucher gras. Il s'étire, complexe, noble, sur une longue finale sèveuse, profonde et un superbe relief aromatique. C'est magnifique ! Assemblage : 74 % cabernet sauvignon, 23 % merlot, 1 % cabernet franc, 1 % petit verdot, 1 % carmenère. Degré d'alcool : 14°3 (moyenne plus) - pH : 3,61 (moyenne moins). Sélection : 42 % de la récolte."

"A long and very linear red for Margaux with intense freshness and energy. The cabernet sauvignon shows real clarity with blackcurrants and flowers. Crushed stone. Firm and racy with lots of lemon rind and intensity. 74% cabernet sauvignon, 23% merlot, 1% cabernet franc, 1% petit verdot and 1% carmenere."

"I was absolutely blown away by the 2022 Château Brane-Cantenac, which looks to be a reference point vintage for this château. Based on 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Carmenère, and Petit Verdot, it sports a deep purple hue to go with incredible aromatics of crème de cassis, lead pencil, sandalwood, and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shines for its purity of fruit, has ultra-fine tannins, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a finish. It hit 14.3% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, and like many estates today, they utilized quite a bit of press wine (15%) in the final blend. This is clearly up with the finest wines from the appellation and is well worth seeking out."

"Elégant dans sa forme, dans ses arômes et dans son évolution au moment de la dégustation avec un peu moins de chair en milieu de bouche que ce qu’on pouvait attendre du millésime. C'est une grande réussite et un vin qui confirme le niveau excellent des vins encore abordables de cette propriété."

VINOUS

"The 2022 Brane-Cantenac is captivating. Aromatic, savory and layered, the 2022 is so alluring from the outset. The natural radiance of the year is very much on display, and yet there is nothing that is overdone about the 2022. Hints of blood orange, spice, rose petal and minerals open over time, offering stunning contrast to the sheer intensity of the fruit shaped by low yields and tiny berries. Brane-Cantenac is, in my view, one of the most under-the-radar wines on the Left Bank. The 2022 is a stunner."

Antonio Galloni 95.97 Punkte

"The 2022 Brane-Cantenac, as usual, is a wine that you must sit and contemplate before words gush forth. It was picked from 7 September to 10 October (their tiny plot of Carmenère) at 31.5hL/ha and contains 16% vin de presse from the Cabernet Sauvignon. It is well-defined and fresh, a very subtle Margaux, precise with blackberry, wild strawberry, cedar and tobacco scents. As previous vintages have proven, there's a kind of "hidden depth" that will become apparent post-bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very elegant and unashamedly classic in style. This is blessed with haunting poise, composed and detailed on the finish. This Margaux is not a show stopper, which in any case, is not really Henri Lurton/Brane Cantenac’s signature style. Instead, it is a wine that 15 to 20 years down the road, you are going to treasure."

"Le style de Brane-Cantenac est bien mis en évidence avec un boisé qui évoque la torréfaction ainsi que d'invitantes notes de fruits noirs et d'eucalyptus. L'attaque est dense et suave. Le vin a du corps, des tannins veloutés, et une puissance bien canalisée idéalement couplée à une rafraîchissante tension qui se manifeste en fin de bouche. Brane-Cantenac reste Brane-Cantenac, d'une manière démonstrative et assumée avec tout le charme que cela implique mais aussi toute l'harmonie qui est nécessaire à ce type de construction. Un vin brillant, une fois encore ! J'ai vu quelques vins qui passent complètement à travers du millésime, dans la mesure où il performe aussi bien que d'habitude pratiquement sans changer de style. Ajoutons-y un peu de finesse, d'énergie, d'éclat aromatique et le tour est joué ! Un très grand Brane-Cantenac."

"Leuchtendes dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Röstaromen, ein Hauch von Lakritze, schwarze Waldbeeren, floraler Touch, sehr attraktiv. Stoffig, elegant und seidig, feine Extraktsüße, ein Hauch von Gewürznelken, finessenreicher Säurrebogen, schokoladig-mineralisch im Abgang, feine Tannine, ungewöhnlich lang und harmonisch, delikat, Margaux par excellene."
