The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “The 2020 is obviously more concentrated and profound, but also endowed with undeniable charm, with a very fine quality of tannins.”
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 93/100 “The 2020 Château d'Issan has a gorgeous, perfumed, floral bouquet with mainly red berry fruit, rose petal and hints of violet. The palate is medium-bodied, very focused and linear, with fine tannins. It perhaps needs a little more density toward the finish. There is a little bitterness on the aftertaste, yet that just lends tension and nerve. Lovely. ”
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 96/100 “Very classic and very well structured, with admirable volume and all the elegance one expects from a Margaux”.

The 2016 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (March 2020): 93/100 “Delicate and mellow on entry, delightful in the middle, finely pulpy and aromatic, the wine glides through the finish savory and long, on fine-grained tannicity.”
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 94/100 "The 2016 d'Issan has a well-defined bouquet of blackberry, violets, rose petal and light undergrowth aromas, displaying fine lift and great intensity. The medium-bodied palate offers fine-grained tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and vibrant, with a very harmonious, elegant and persistent finish. Excellent."

The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 95/100 “Beautiful dark red, intense. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, pure, ripe. Minutious on the entry, particularly tasty in the middle, with a graceful bearing, the wine melts on the palate, juicy, fat, long and even deep. Bravo!”
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2021): 94/100 "The 2015 Château d'Issan has an intense bouquet, even more than the 2010 when juxtaposed side-by-side, with multilayered black fruit, bilberry and light marine scents and hints of wild heather that I did not notice three years ago. The palate is beautifully balanced with very supple, lithe tannins. There is more red fruit compared to the 2010, with a little more sapidity. In fact, I suspect on this showing that the d'Issan may ultimately edge ahead. This is very elegant and harmonious with an almost pixelated finish."
Under the direction of Henri Lurton, Brane-Cantenac has gained in recent years in fullness and density and has become one of the leading growths of the appellation along with Palmer and Rauzan-Ségla and even the most authentically Margalese of them all. Let there be no mistake, behind a typically Margalaise elegance and delicacy that encourages tasting it too young, Brane-Cantenac needs time to blossom and reveal itself.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 97/100 “Dark, crimson color, intense and beautiful. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, subtle fruit. Complex. Minutious on the entry, very, very aromatic in the middle, with class in the touch and a lot of taste, the wine evolves juicy, long, tasty, on a melting body. It's superb and, above all, impossible to spit out.”
Vinous (A. Galloni-February 2019): 97/100 “The 2019 Brane-Cantenac is wild and exotic from the very first taste. The aromatics alone are dazzling. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco, new leather, menthol and cinnamon are all kicked up in this flamboyant Margaux. The 2019 is radiant and generous, yet also retains a very classic sense of structure. The precision here is just unreal. In 2019, Brane-Cantenac is an absolute head-turner. It is a sort of wine wine that abounds in Bordeaux, a wine that offers tremendous quality and relative value.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 96/100 “Dark color, medium intensity and slightly evolved. Very aromatic, fruity and creamy on the nose. Soft on the palate, tasty in the middle, with class in the touch, the wine melts on the palate, deep, delicate, taut and tender at the same time. Great aromatic persistence, with a fine grain. Superb!"
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2018): 96/100 "The 2016 Brane-Cantenac has been on a roll of late, under the watchful eye of Henri Lurton. This latest bottled vintage is superb. The divine, pure blackberry and bilberry bouquet develops touches of graphite in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, silky-smooth texture and a superb bead of acidity. This is not a powerful Brane-Cantenac, and it is perhaps less austere than I suspected en primeur, but it should drink beautifully over the next three decades. If you have a penchant for traditional claret, it really doesn't come better than this."

The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 97/100 “Dark, intense, slightly evolved color. Very aromatic nose, with pure, ripe, suave fruit. Ample on the attack, mellow in the mid-palate, with class in the touch and a very fine ascent between the middle and the finish, the wine evolves long, liquorice and deep. It's superb and the right expression of this vintage compared to the previous one.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - February 2018): 96/100 “The 2015 Brane-Cantenac is powerful, structured and explosive in feel. A deep, resonant wine, the 2015 boasts off the charts ripeness allied to formidable structure and tannic heft. I imagine the 2015 is going to need a number of years yo become approchable and more than that to be at its best. The dark stone fruit, smoke, tobacco, spice and leather flavors pack a huge punch, but it is the wine's balance that places it among the elite on the Left Bank in 2015. Brane-Cantenac is a total pleasure bomb. I can't wait to taste it with a little bottle age."

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “The 2014 Brane-Cantenac has a frank, opulent bouquet of bright black fruits, with hints of meat juice, mint and potpourri. This is one of the most complex aromas in the Margaux cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly spicy with a hint of black pepper. It develops on the palate, culminating in a structured, impressive finish. This wine should age well in bottle, it's splendid and one of the best values of this vintage.”

Re-tasted 10 years later by the Revue du Vin de France and rated 18/20 "very seductive, with an intense palate, still marked by fresh fruit flavours".
The 2010 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 93/100 "The 2010 Brane-Cantenac is consistent with previous notes, although I observed an accentuated bell pepper scent on the nose. The palate is very well balanced, typically "classic" in style with quite rigid tannins indicating that this needs a few more years in bottle."
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 95/100 “Dark, intense, purple color, beautiful and slightly evolved. Nose very aromatic, fine, with pure, ripe fruit, evolving complex and noble with shaking of the glass. A touch of toast. Full-bodied on the palate, particularly aromatic in the middle, with a classy touch, the wine grows on the finish, fine, long, tender and tasty. Nevertheless, it retains a slightly lively touch (Cabernet franc?) ”

An exceptional terroir classified in 1855 at the top of the second classified growths (with Mouton-Rothschild). Classicism in its purest form, an exemplary Margaux and certainly the cru classé whose style is the closest to that of Château Margaux.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 93+/100 “The 2019 Rauzan-Ségla is surly and backward on the nose despite aeration. Gravelly black fruit, sous-bois and touches of seaweed emerge with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy and smooth, a dash of white pepper and cedar towards the shelled finish. This is one bottle that desperately needs more aeration to show its capabilities - one for long-term cellaring".
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 97/100 “Another splendid success for this vintage. Intense and very civilized, it falls into the mouth with evidence and grace, like a haute couture dress. A great incarnation of Margaux at its best".
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 96/100 “Delicate on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, complex and tasty, the wine takes on taste between the middle and the finish and stretches out, offering fruit and floral nuances. Juicy, deep, with a slightly austere tannic structure behind which come multiple aromas. A great, racy wine. Bravo!”

The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (August 2020): 96/100 “Mellow mouthfeel, full-bodied and melting, with fatness from the mid-palate and real aromatic power. It's long and very good.”
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2019): 95/100 "The 2015 Rauzan-Ségla has a very pure, charming bouquet of mecerated dark cherries, blueberry and vanilla aromas; subtle violet and iris scents blossom with aeration in the glass. Quintessential Rauzan-Ségla. The clean, precise, medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and tightly wound but quite persistent finish. it feels more primal than its peers nut there is huge potential here, testament to a château that is "going places"."
By the quality of the selections, and the creation of a 3rd wine from 2009, Pavillon Rouge would have easily been considered as the Great Wine of Château Margaux only 20 years ago.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Pavillon Rouge is a rich, ample wine. It is also one of the most opulent, creamy editions of Pavillon Rouge I can remenber tasting. Supple and juicy, with tons of mid-palate richness and volume, the 2022 is shockingly intense in its texture. At the same time, the tannins are so polished, with no hard edges or angular contours. In 2022, Pavillon Rouge is a wine of extreme and total pleasure."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. Very aromatic, pure, ripe, deep nose. Nuances of red and black fruit mixed with a superb touch of vanilla wood. This exotic touch suits it very well. Airy on the entry, with a fine fatness that runs across the palate, the wine is juicy, distinguished and noble. Highly aromatic, it glides along before tightening slightly in a grand finale that is both delicate and powerful. Incratchable."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (February 2024): 95/100 “On the palate, as meticulous and suave as ever, with an ascending, complex unfolding, and as classy a touch as ever. The finish is noble, serene, subtle and even profound. For several vintages now, Pavillon rouge has been rising even higher.”
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 92/100 “The 2021 Pavillon Rouge showed well from barrel. Now, in bottle since late june, it has a gorgeous, very pure, almost Burgundy-like bouquet that blossoms in the glass: raspberry, blackberry and crushed violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very suculent tannins, fine acidity, gentle grip and a disarmingly minerally, fresh finish. What a delightful Pavillon”.

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2024): 94/100 “The 2020 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux has a wonderfully delineated, utterly charming bouquet—pure and floral with enticing violets infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant, finessed tannins. A gentle grip disguises the power of this Margaux, which is persistent and caressing on the finish—outstanding. This shoots well above my expectations!"

The 2018 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 95/100 “Pulpy at the start of the mouth, fat and fragrant at the same time, with a strong occupation of the palate, the wine stretches out on the finish, complex and racy in its fresh and long return. It's very good.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 94/100 "The 2018 Pavillon Rouge is a powerful, brooding wine with huge fruit and equally imposing tannins. Time in the glass brings out elements of Château Margaux finesse to balance things out. In 2018 the Pavillon has some lots that tend to go into The Grand Vin, but that were deemed too tannic for that wine."

Jean-Marc Quarin (September 2020): 95/100 “For the moment, the nose is a little discreet, with ripe, suave fruit and a hint of meatiness. It's the palate that sets this wine apart. Soft and melting from the outset, it develops complexity in the mid-palate, gaining power in the finish, but all in nuance. Very fine-grained, long finish with lots of flavor."
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2019): 94/100 "The 2015 Pavillon Rouge de Margaux has a detailed, wonderfully focused bouquet of violet-infused black fruit, sublime mineralité and real sophistication; the oak is seamlessly integrated. The very well-balanced palate offers filigreed tannin and layers of sweet black cherry and cassis fruit that segue into a tensile, mineral-driven finish. Pure Joy, pure class."

Martin - February 2024): 93/100 “The 2014 Pavillon Rouge has a more classically styled nose compared to its peers, black fruit mixed with graphite and tobacco, unfolding nicely in the glass and incrementally gaining opulence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, rounded in the mouth, fleshy and plush, with no hard edges in sight. This is quite a seductive Margaux, but it pulls it off well.”
J-M Quarin (September 2020): 94/100 “Very well constructed, savory, the wine caresses the ascending palate on the finish, with a slightly firmer tannic presence, without the flavor being altered...”

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, veins of blue fruit emerging with time in the glass and with just a touch of salted liquorice towards the finish. This could be à point."
J-M Quarin (January 2022): 94/100 “Slightly discreet nose, with ripe, even sunny fruit. Meaty touch. The palate is a caress. The wine melts and develops airily, deliciously, without any tannic presence.”

The 2005 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - April 2021): 93/100 "The 2005 Pavillon Rouge is in a beautiful spot right now where it is just beginning to show signs of aromatic complexity and nuance. At fifiteen years of age, the DNA of the vintage remains - ¨Pavillon Rouge is a potent, hulking wine. Sweet tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and anise add layers of nuance. Readers lucky enough to own the 2005 should be delighted. I imagine positively stellar. The more it opens in the glass, the more classic it becomes."
J-M Quarin (June 2019): 94/100 “Superb! A wine that can be confused with Château Margaux...A must try!”
No other vintage can better express the magical association that is so difficult to obtain simultaneously finesse and power. A first growth without rival in its style!
The 2020 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 99/100 “Deep, dark red color. Great, complex, subtle nose. Nuances of raspberry and flowers. Hint of ink. Hint of licorice. Fascinating. Ultra meticulous on the entry, ultra melting in the middle, with an insane class in the touch, the wine melts on the palate, refined, subtle and graceful. Very long, complex and fine-grained. It's beautiful, pure, dense and yet unputdownable.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (March 2020): 97/100 “The tactile attention to detail on entry is remarkable. The wine develops unceasingly pulpy, before releasing a black fruit flavor that sparkles in the persistence. It's superb, long, very meticulously crafted, with a very fine grain.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2019): 97/100 "One of the clear highlights on the Left Bank, the 2017 Margaux is magnificent. Soaring in intensity, the 2017 exudes class from the very first taste. Margaux is anything but that. Instead, Margaux is dark, somber and mysterious, with layers of sepia-toned nuance that opens up with time in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon, picked 5 days later than first anticipated, is especially prominent. The 2017 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is a super-promising wine. Wow."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “The 2014 Château Margaux has a well-defined bouquet of cedar-infused black fruits, undergrowth and hints of brown spices. A little more precision than the Haut-Brion. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, finely balanced. It's not the most complex First Growth, and it feels linear and strict toward the Pauillac-like finish. This is a “serious” Château Margaux that will hopefully relax over the next few years. We'll see."

The 2012 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - May 2021): 94+/100 "The 2012 Château Margaux is a wine that, based on this showing, is a little closed at the moment and needs the most coaxing from the glass; Plenty of black fruit in situ, altough it does not really blossom. It is very well-balanced, quite deep and powerful, but it needs time to develop refinement on the finish."
J-M Quarin (February 2020): 96/100 “Minutious on entry, then complex in the middle, the wine develops particularly aromatic on an upward stimulus on the finish where it comes to a sophisticated, long finish on fine grain. This superb balance makes it unputdownable!”

The 2009 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (February 2020): 98/100 “Wow, it's impossible to expect such delicacy from such a nose! The wine never ceases to melt, complex to the touch and to the taste. It evolves serenely to become more solid on the finish, without losing its complexity. Very long persistence, fresh, noble and ultimately unputdownable. Charm, hedonism, aesthetics and precision. A style the opposite of the 2005.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2019): 97/100 "The 2009 Château Margaux is blessed with stunning nose that delivers intense blackberry and cranberry scents, crushed rose petals and touches of slate. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, taut and quite linear with an effortless and precise finish that is a pure joy. You have the sense of a Château Margaux that is only beginning to show what it can do. Brilliant."

The 2004 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N.Martin - April 2024): 95/100 “The 2004 Château Margaux has an enticing nose with mainly red fruit and a light cedar and irony tincture. It's mature but still vigorous and has plenty in the tank. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, tensile entry. It's irony (again) with a walcome spiciness on the finish. More concentrated than you might anticipate, this is drinking beautifully now but will clearly drink for another 20 to 30 years.”
J-M Quarin (November 2023): 96/100 “26 bottles tasted while preparing a dinner, with no deviation! Never seen anything like it! A fragrant wine with a nose that glides over the palate, both solid and refined in a long, very Cabernet Sauvignon style. Fine grain. Good air resistance."
La Revue du Vin de France (2014): 97/100 “It has that bewitching nose typical of the vintage, on crisp fruit and flowers.”
Second wine of Lagrange, of an incredible regularity in its quality as in its prices. This classic is an ideal "core of the cellar"!
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 90/100 "The 2022 Fiefs de Lagrange is a terrific second wine. Plump, juicy and super-expressive, the 2022 is a charmer. Succulent contours wrap around a core of ripe red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and mint."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 91/100 "Beautiful dark colour, intense and young. Lovely, very aromatic nose, with pure, ripe, vanilla-flavoured fruit. Smooth on the attack, suave and fragrant on the mid-palate, the wine develops into a mellow, juicy wine with an overall subtlety never seen before. A very fine combination of fruit and wood on the finish."

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2022): 90/100 "I pulled the trigger on this Deuxième Vin, thinking it might be ready to drink. I was wrong. it has an intense blackberry and blueberry nose that, despite decanting, remains quite closed. The palate is potential, but I advise keeping this in the cellar for another two or three years."

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2019): 90/100 "The 2015 Les Fiefs de Lagrange has a generous bouquet with red cherries, strawberry and light red currant jus aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated, and a little more gregarious in style than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a powdery texture, a fine bead of acidity, quite sharp and citrus in style with a generous dash of white pepper on the finish. This is turning into a much better second wine than I expected."
Second wine of Gruaud-Larose. In a rather powerful and tight register, Sarget is a serious and convincing Saint-Julien, with substance, at its best after 5 to 7 years of ageing.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 89/100 "Dark, intense colour. Very aromatic nose, fruity, subtle and livelier than during the Primeurs presentation. The palate is fruity, flavoursome and full-bodied, gaining strength on the finish. Normal length, seductive and fragrant."
