Le Point 15-15,5 / 20 byJacques Dupontthe6/20/2018 Pureté de fruit, fraîcheur, vif, texture fine, charnu, délicat, gourmand, déjà très bon, tout en rondeur.
Vinous 86-88 / 100 byAntonio Gallonithe5/15/2018 The 2017 Baron de Brane is an attractive wine, but it is also a bit modest in structure and diluted in character. It will be interesting to see if the Baron fleshes out during its aging. Today, the 2017 is decidedly light in body, but there is good lift to the red berry fruit.
The Wine Cellar Insider 86-88 / 100 byJeff Levethe5/11/2018 Fresh, bright, sweet red fruits, this wine is medium bodied, soft, elegant and ready for prime time drinking on release.
Vinous 84-86 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/1/2018 The 2017 Baron de Brane has a tightly wound, very stony and slightly earthy bouquet, perhaps just a little dustiness to contend with. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, just a little green around the edges with a generous pinch of black pepper on the finish. This will be an early drinking second label.
Jamessuckling.com 90-91 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/6/2018 A cool and fruity red with red currant and crushed stone character. Hints of lemon zest and bright acidity Medium body, firm and silky. Pretty second wine of Brane.
