The 2025 Brane-Cantenac Blanc was picked between August 20 and 28. This has a little more precision and tension compared with the Baron de Brane Blanc despite the higher percentage of Sémillon (41%). The palate is lively on the entry with brief notes of pineapple and grapefruit, segueing into more tropical notes towards the slightly viscous finish. This should be a delight once in bottle. (NM)
