Château Brane-Cantenac, Baron De Brane, (Magnum) 2020
Baron de Brane is the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, a second growth château owned by Henri Lurton and one of the oldest and largest properties in Margaux. It's crafted with an emphasis on approachability while still reflecting the elegance and structure of the grand vin, offering both complexity and early drinkability due to its balanced fruit and refined tannins. On the palate, this wine is smooth and rounded, with soft tannins and moderate acidity. It presents flavours of red and dark berries, along with touches of plum and blackcurrant, layered with a slight earthy, mineral undertone characteristic of Margaux. The finish is elegant, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of graphite.
Fixin, La Place, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2020
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “ avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels ”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity.
