A Second Growth Margaux that has entered full maturity and revealed its true character. The 2012 vintage challenged growers, but the gravelly terroir at Brane-Cantenac allowed for ripening that captured the best of the season. Dense purple color gives way to a classic nose of red fruit, graphite, and tobacco. The palate is velvety yet precise, with fine tannins framing white pepper and fennel notes, balanced by a saline minerality that speaks to decades of careful vineyard management. A wine that's showing beautifully now.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2012 Brane-Cantenac was a relatively late-ripening vintage for which harvest finished on October 16. This is far better than the 2011 with more fruit and vigour. Finely delineated blackberry, wild hedgerow and graphite scents continue to lend it a Pauillac-like allure. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and vivid black fruit laced with white pepper, leather and tobacco. Very harmonious and quite elegant in style, this has a very endearing poise on the finish. The 2012 is just entering its drinking window now and should give another 20 years' drinking pleasure. Impressive for the vintage. Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château in September 2025." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 93
"Beautifully fragrant and finely judged claret with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. A refined and charming, gentle expression of the appellation. A property that has grown in quality each year but remains fairly priced."

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Plush yet focused, with a loam-tinged structure carrying dark plum, blackberry coulis and tobacco notes. Cuts a broad swath through the finish, with an echo of freshly drawn espresso. Solid, with a pleasant old-school twinge. Best from 2016 through 2022."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 94
"Barrel sample. With marked acidity as well as black fruits, this is a wine with weight and richness. It has a dark core of firm tannins, although the aftertaste maintains the juiciness." -Roger Voss
