The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux is widely celebrated as one of the finest of the 20th century, and we have a case in pristine condition from Brane-Cantenac (pictured above). Chateau Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, a Second Growth estate with a history dating back to the 18th century, spans approximately 75 hectares. The 1982 vintage from this estate is renowned for its elegance and balance, featuring a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend that offers a classic Margaux profile of floral and blackcurrant notes. The growing season was nearly perfect, with an early, warm spring followed by a long, hot summer, culminating in a dry September, allowing for optimal grape ripening. The wines produced are noted for their richness, depth, and longevity, showcasing the typical robust tannins of Bordeaux but with superb ripeness and concentration. This vintage elevated the international standing of Bordeaux wines and is often used as a benchmark for comparing other vintages. We have a very limited amount at this low pricing, and it's a top buy for this incredible vintage. Now is the time to buy before tariffs on European wines get implemented!

Vinous (Neil Martin) 90 points! "The 1982 Brane-Cantenac is a wine that I have tasted a few times now. Quite dense on the nose, this offers black fruit, fresh tobacco and cedar, a faint polished boot leather scent emerging with time. Maybe it does not offer the best delineation? The palate is finely balanced with filigree tannins, poised with sour cherry and raspberry commingling with cedar and dark chocolate. Whilst not a stupendous Margaux, this constitutes the best example that I have tasted. Tasted at the 1982 Dinner at Hatched. (Drink between 2022-2035)"
