Château Brane Cantenac

The origins of Château Brane-Cantenac date back to the 16^th century. In 1855, Château Brane Cantenac was classified as 2^nd Grand Cru. In 1925, the Lurton family bought this prestigious vintage that perpetuates the style of wines from generation to generation. The harvest is then precise, vinification controlled thanks to new technologies and careful aging in French oak barrels.

This 2001 vintage has a deep red color with violet reflections. A strong aromatic intensity and a nose dominated by toasted and roasted aromas (coffee, cocoa) of the barrel. The stirring reveals spicy and floral notes (iris) as well as ripe fruit (raspberry and blackberry).

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – Château Brane Cantenac 2001 rated 92/100.
