2020 Château Brane-Cantenac, Cru Classé Margaux

2020 Château Brane-Cantenac, Cru Classé Margaux

The 2020 Brane-Cantenac is a real beauty, but sadly yields were down 50% on last year. The wine is fine boned, with wonderful fruit intensity, and a complex, mineral-inflected finish. Brilliant. Will sell out fast.

Tasting notes

Extremely floral and beautiful with blackberry and blackcurrant aromas that follow through to a full body with a solid core of fruit and loads of dark fruit, sweet tobacco, bark and earth. Chewy, fine tannins. Perhaps the best of the trilogy years.
