2017 Baron de Brane 2017 375ml

90 POINTS

James Suckling

A very refined nose with redcurrants, red flowers and a complex mix of light, fresh earth and tobacco leaf. The palate delivers a bright, fresh impression with fine, lively tannins casting a very vibrant and succulent, red-fruit finish. A blend of 53% merlot, 41% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 1% carmenere. Second wine of Chateau Brane-Cantenac. Drink or hold.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2017 Baron de Brane is a pretty wine to drink now and over the next few years. Dark cherry, mocha, spice and new leather are all nicely pushed forward. There is a good bit of immediacy to the 2017, if not a ton of depth or persistence.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

Fresh, bright, sweet red fruits, this wine is medium bodied, soft, elegant and ready for prime time drinking on release.

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2017 Baron de Brane has a tightly wound, very stony and slightly earthy bouquet, perhaps just a little dustiness to contend with. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, just a little green around the edges with a generous pinch of black pepper on the finish. This will be an early drinking second label.

Jacques Dupont - Le Point

Pureté de fruit, fraîcheur, vif, texture fine, charnu, délicat, gourmand, déjà très bon, tout en rondeur. 15-16/20
