Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 89-91/100
The 2018 Baron de Brane is rich and luscious in the glass. Succulent red cherry and ripe red plum fruit are pushed forward in a soft, racy Margaux that will drink beautifully upon release. The radiance of the vintage comes through nicely, and yet there is a good bit of freshness as well. The blend is 60% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Carmenère.

James Suckling 91-92/100
Tight and polished with a beautiful center palate and density. Full-bodied, ripe and polished. Really delicious fruit to this. Strawberries and currants abound. Wonderful second wine of Brane.

Jane Anson 91/100
Powerful tannin, with a bite that is pretty ferocious. There are good fruits underneath, with deep cassis and bilberry notes. Good-quality but broad-shouldered.

The 2018 Baron De Brane is a more Merlot-dominated second wine and is 60% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Carménère. It has lots of floral, blue fruits as well as notes of ripe cherries, cedar pencil, and chocolate to go with a medium-bodied, elegant, seamless style on the palate. It's more closed and backward than I would have expected, but it's an elegant, silky, charming wine to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years.

About this wine

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
