Under the direction of Henri Lurton, Brane-Cantenac has gained in recent years in fullness and density and has become one of the leading growths of the appellation along with Palmer and Rauzan-Ségla and even the most authentically Margalese of them all. Let there be no mistake, behind a typically Margalaise elegance and delicacy that encourages tasting it too young, Brane-Cantenac needs time to blossom and reveal itself.

The 2014 vintage is rated 94/100 by N.Martin "The 2014 Brane-Cantenac has a clean, opulent bouquet of bright black fruits, with hints of meat juice, mint and potpourri. This is one of the most complex aromas in the Margaux cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly spicy with a hint of black pepper. It develops on the palate, leading to a structured and impressive finish. This wine should age well in bottle, it's splendid and one of the best values of this vintage ". (February 2024)
