Chateau Brane Cantenac - Bordeaux Blanc 2021 (Pre-arrival)

Add to Wish List

Globally renowned for its red wine, Bordeaux now produces white wines at approximately 70 different estates. From iconic names like Chateau Margaux's Pavillon Blanc, Mouton Rothschild's Aile d’Argent and Blanc de Lynch Bages there are a lot of newer high quality arrivals each vintage. Visiting annually, what was a small selection a few years ago, has grown into a category now.

A huge fan of Brane Cantenac, I'm proud to introduce you to the 2021 Brane Cantenac "Blanc!"

Their third vintage for this dry white, only 3600 bottles are produced. A blend of 72% Sauvignon Blanc and 28% Semillon fermented in oak barrels, it has texture but is not outwardly oaky. Exotic aromas and viscous texture announces its presence on your palate. A wine to swirl and smell several times, different aromas emerge with every moment. Pair it with langoustine ravioli for an outstanding experience. The press is starting to notice with Jane Anson posting a 94 point review.

Jane Anson: 94 Points

"Soft edges of rosebud, cut grass and white flowers, this is good quality with concentrated citrus, straw and white pepper spice. Has structure and impact, and unusually for white Médocs could do with a few years ageing. Brane Cantenac is an estate that is known for its precision work with oak barels during ageing (using both 225l and larger demi-muids), so no surprise perhaps that their white is a little marked by oak at this early stage, but it has huge potential and is easy to recommend. 3.2ha of white vines."
