The 2025 vintage in Margaux
Vintage benchmark: 94/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A dry, bright summer, tempered by cool nights, gave pure, balanced wines, more classic than sun-drenched.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
"Very pure, ripe and intense black fruit aromas exude their aromas, enhanced with tantalizing notes of chocolate and peppery flowers in an elegant and intense bouquet. What freshness on the palate! Generous, crunchy, with glorious fresh fruit, the joyful substance is supported by well-coated tannins for an easy to enjoy wine. The long finish is mouth-watering" - le Figaro

Terroir
Historically recognised as one of the greatest in the Médoc, the terroir of Brane long earned the property the description of first of the seconds. The heart of the property is a 45-hectare block, unchanged for three centuries. The very deep gravel (12 m) has a high clay content. It ensures a sufficient water reserve throughout the year while its compactness limits the amount of water the plant takes up. The water table is very deep here (5 to 6 m), allowing the roots to develop deep down. The upper layers of the soil, sandier, tend to saturate quickly during heavy rain. Much of the water then runs off, thanks to the topography.
