The 2025 Baron de Brane is an absolute delight. Bright, juicy and wonderfully vibrant, the 2025 is a gorgeous second wine to drink on release. The purity of the fruit is exuberant and so compelling. 04/2026

The 2025 Baron de Brane has a more tertiary nose than its peers, but there is dark berry fruit here, tinged with black tea. The palate is medium-bodied, with plenty of freshness and transparency on the entry. Fine-boned tannins, a keen line of acidity, gentle grip on the slightly chalky finish, with a pinch of black pepper on the aftertaste. Very fine. 05/2026

Sweet aromas of dark berries and creamy new oak introduce the 2025 Baron de Brane, a medium- to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's built around ripe, powdery tannins. 04/2026

Quelle émotion en découvrant ce vin ! Magnifique couleur rouge sombre, intense, aux reflets noirs. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil, sentant bon les fruits noirs. A l'agitation, il me fait penser au Brane Cantenac 2010. Ultra minutieux en entrée de bouche, très raffiné au toucher, avec un éclat fruité diabolique, le vin fond sur le palais, pulpeux, profond et distingué. C'est incroyable ! Chapeau bas. Assemblage : 59 % Merlot, 29 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 % Cabernet Franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°5 - pH : 3,57. 10,40 % de vin de presse. Rendement : 32,2 hl/ha. 04/2026
