{"product_id":"2025-chateau-brane-cantenac","title":"2025 Chateau Brane-Cantenac","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Cellar Insider 98-100 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherries, currants, roses, violets, spice, and forest floor create the aromatics. On the palate, the elegance and purity of the fruit are instantly recognizable. The lift and vibrancy, paired with concentration and sensuality, set this apart. The finish starts strong and continues seamlessly. 2025 marks the Lurton family's 100th anniversary of owning the vineyard. You can expect to see a special label celebrating the occasion. The 2025 is in competition with the 2022 as the best vintage ever produced at the estate. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 1% Carmenere, and 1% Cabernet Franc. 13.3% ABV, 3.62 pH. Harvesting took place September 2 - September 19. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2065. -Jeff Leve\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 95-97 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2025 Brane-Cantenac was picked from September 2 to 29, finishing with that 1% of late-ripening Carménère, cropped at 32.2 hl\/ha. It has impressive purity on the nose, an aspect of the Grand Vin that Henri Lurton and his team have improved immensely over the last decade. Black cherries, bilberry, violet and crushed stone unfold in the glass, classical in style, which is Brane-Cantenac's signature. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, finely sculpted tannins allied with disarming sapidity and brightness. Not powerful like the 2022, yet pixelated with a mineral, tensile, complex finish. Another feather in the cap for Lurton and, moreover, this is often one of the best values on release. -Neal Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Brane-Cantenac","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47865624166551,"sku":"14127","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/4695\/0807\/files\/BraneCantenacFutures.png?v=1780515827","url":"https:\/\/europeanwineresource.com\/products\/2025-chateau-brane-cantenac","provider":"European Wine Resource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
