Baron de Brane Margaux

Baron de Brane is the second wine of the award-winning Cru Classé Château Brane Cantenac from Margaux. Wine connoisseurs will realize that this red wine must be something very special. Far from being second rate, this wine is an outstanding product of the Margaux appellation.

The blend consists of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carmenere, aged for 12 months in wooden barrels with 30% new barrels. Fruit, elegance and Margaux refinement characterize the Baron der Brane. A price-performance miracle that impresses with dark berries and a typical Cabernet Sauvignon nose. This is followed by liquorice, blackberries, roasted notes and some tobacco on the palate. The finish is long and harmonious, the tannins are silky and well integrated. This red wine is an excellent accompaniment to BBQ game dishes, red meat and blue cheese.

We think: A brilliant achievement from this Margaux estate, which is currently flying high. Be sure to pick it up, as the wine will continue to improve in the cellar over the next few years. Wonderfully ready to drink now, but decant for an hour first!

Château Brane-Cantenac

Das ca. 90 ha große Gut, welches zunächst unter dem Namen "Gorce" bekannt war, wurde 1820 vom Baron de Brane übernommen und hieß ab 1843 Brane-Cantenac. Seit 1920 ist das Gut im Besitz der alteingesessenen Bordelaiser Familie Lurton, wobei Henri Lurton Brane-Cantenac seit 1992 verwaltet.

Brane-Cantenac ist anders als die anderen Margaux Weingüter. Sind viele dieser Châteaux noch Traditionalisten, geht man bei Brane-Cantenac den Weg, die guten Dinge der Vergangenheit zu bewahren und sich den Errungenschaften der Moderne nicht zu verschließen; "best of both worlds", sozusagen.

Für die Sortierung der Trauben wurde eine optische Sortiermaschine angeschafft, die Kelleranlagen wurden umfangreich renoviert und sind ein Schmuckstück zudem befindet sich Brane-Cantenac in der Umstellung auf Bio-Dynamik, das heißt, dass inzwischen nur noch sehr zurückhaltend auf den Einsatz von Chemikalien, wie z.B. Pflanzenschutzmittel, zurückgegriffen wird.

Brane-Cantenac verkörpert die Quintessenz des Margaux-Charakters: Eleganz, feminine, parfümartige Finesse, gepaart mit eindrucksvoller Tiefe. "Underperforming" war gestern für Brane-Cantenac.

Von diesem edlen Franzosen gibt es inzwischen drei Varianten. Den Grand Vin, klassifiziert als Deuxième Cru, den Zweitwein Baron de Brane und seit 2014 den Margaux de Brane, der in der Assemblage mehr Merlot als Cabernet Sauvignon aufweist. Alle drei sind hervorragende Repräsentanten ihres Weingutes und bieten jedem Geldbeutel ein passendes Trinkerlebnis.

Chateau Labegorce Margaux AOC 2020
Château Labégorce Margaux 2020 is an excellent representative of the renowned Margaux appellation in the heart of the Bordeaux region in south-west France. Château Labégorce, whose roots date back to the 18th century, stands for elegance, sophistication and a deep understanding of traditional Bordeaux winemaking. The 2020 vintage benefited from a particularly favorable climate: a warm, dry summer with occasional rainfall in August ensured optimally ripened grapes with excellent concentration and freshness.The 2020 cuvée is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (45%), supplemented by smaller proportions of Petit Verdot (2%) and Cabernet Franc (3%) - a classic composition that reflects the character of Margaux wines.In the glass, the wine is a deep, dark ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a complex interplay of aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and cherry, accompanied by fine notes of cedar wood, licorice, tobacco and roasted coffee - a typical expression of the careful barrique maturation.On the palate, Château Labégorce 2020 is powerful and elegant at the same time. The tannins are silky but present, while the acidity structure lends the wine freshness and longevity. The medium to full body is carried by dark fruit, fine spice and mineral depth. The finish is long and balanced, with a hint of graphite and elegant wood notes.Château Labégorce 2020 is considered by many critics to be one of the best vintages of the house in the last decade. Renowned wine critics such as James Suckling awarded it up to 92-93 points, while Wine Advocate and Vinous also emphasized the wine's balance and depth. The excellent ageing potential is particularly praised: the wine is already accessible now, but promises a rewarding development in the bottle over the next 15 to 20 years.

Château Labégorce Margaux AOC 2019
Consisting of 46% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, Château Labégorce is a model wine from the Margaux appellation with a great price-performance ratio. 2019 was a particularly good year on the left bank of the Gironde, enabling this vineyard, located on the northern edge of Margaux, to produce an exceptional grape juice of great precision and intensity.The 2019 Labégorce was matured in French oak, 40% of which was new barrels. Lots of blackcurrant, dark fruit, tobacco, coffee beans, dark cherry, chocolate, menthol, liquorice and beautiful roasted aromas create a harmonious aromatic picture, supported by fine and polished tannins. The typical Margaux finesse shines through here too, with a good balance of acidity and silky texture."A lot of Margaux for the money" could be the headline for this grape juice, which can also be enjoyed after 1-2 hours of decanting, but whose actual drinking maturity will begin in 2024.Jane Anson: 92/100Suckling: 91-92/100Gabriel (Kunz): 18/20

Château Labégorce Margaux AOC 2018
Château Labégorce, located at the northern end of Margaux, is back on the map of the great wines of this appellation, and the 2018 vintage is no exception, quite the contrary. The vineyard extends over 70 hectares of vines, surrounded by such prestigious neighbors as Château Margaux and Château Lascombes.The cuvée consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine matures for 12-14 months in French oak barrels, 40-50% of which are new barrels. In the glass, Château Labégorce 2018 is a deep purple-garnet with a black center. The bouquet seduces with intense aromas of ripe blackcurrants, cherries and cassis, accompanied by spicy notes such as tobacco, exotic woods and a hint of liquorice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a silky texture and well-integrated, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and characterized by a subtle fruity sweetness and a pleasant freshness.Château Labégorce 2018 harmonizes perfectly with hearty dishes such as grilled beef, lamb chops, game dishes or stews. Matured cheese or black pudding also go well with this wine. For a special taste experience, we recommend pairing it with truffle aioli chicken hearts or wild boar with wild herb sauce.This wine has excellent ageing potential. It can be enjoyed now, i.e. still very young, and can continue to develop until 2045. For optimal enjoyment, it should be decanted for at least one hour.Jeb Dunnuck: 94/100

Benjamin de Beauregard Pomerol
Die Familien Moulin und Cathiard haben 2014 Beauregard übernommen und die Qualität nochmals auf ein höheres Niveau gehoben. Dem Benjamin de Beauregard kommt dabei bei der Weinbereitung die selbe Sorgfalt zu, wie dem Grand Vin. Die Ernte wird auf Beauregard vollständig manuell ausgeführt. Der Benjamin wird im Holzfass ausgebaut, mit 30% Neufassanteil. Er ist von rubinroter Farbe. Die Nase umschmeicheln milde Düfte von dunklen Kirschen, Paprika, Karamell, Pflaumen und Kräutern. Am Gaumen überwiegen vor allem die Früchte und die feine Struktur imponiert. Der Abgang ist ebenfalls durch dunkle Früchte charakterisiert. Der Wein zeigt eine schöne Balance und Ausgeglichenheit. Er ist jetzt bereits nach etwas dekantieren trinkreif, bleibt aber durchaus noch 8 Jahren auf dem Höhepunkt. Köstlich in Kombination mit rotem Fleisch, Wildgerichten und Käse.
