Branon 2009 hails from the esteemed Château Branon in Pessac-Léognan. Established in the 18th century, the estate is nestled between noteworthy vineyards such as Château Haut-Bailly and Château Malartic Lagravière. This blend predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, cultivated on six hectares of vineyards on clay and limestone soils. The vineyard employs sustainable farming practices, with hand-harvesting and meticulous sorting of the grapes. The wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled wooden vats and is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

This magnificent, dense plum/purple-colored Pessac-Leognan reveals notes of scorched earth, burning embers, blackberries and truffles. Composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from a vineyard gorgeously situated between Malartic Lagraviere and Haut-Bailly, it possesses full-bodied power, a stunningly intense, voluptuous, layered mouthfeel and abundant levels of fruit, glycerin and tannin. The 2009 ranks alongside the magnificent 2000, which is aging at a glacial pace. Unfortunately, proprietress Helene Garcin only produces around 500 cases of this somewhat cult-ish Pessac-Leognan. Anticipated maturity. 2018-2040. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
93 Vinous
The 2009 Branon has a pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry and just a touch of boot polish. It feels well defined with nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, juicy and succulent with a nicely detailed, quite peppery finish with a persistent aftertaste. Based on this performance I might well have under-estimated this Pessac-Léognan. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
