Wine for sale: Château Brane-Cantenac

Located in the heart of the Margaux appellation on Bordeaux's Left Bank, this Deuxième Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification is known around the world for its finesse and elegance. Châteaux Brane-Cantenac legacy is assured by Henri Lurton.

The château was ranked a Deuxième Grand Cru in 1855, a distinction that firmly established Brane-Cantenac among Bordeaux’s leading wines. It is renowned for its remarkable ageing potential and consistent quality.
The Lurton family bought this prestigious property in 1925, and with the passing generations has maintained the delicate, complex, aromatic style for which Brane-Cantenac is known. Now under the direction of Henri Lurton, the property continues to pursue an exacting vision rooted in meticulous plot-by-plot management and a deep understanding of its soils. Harvesting is conducted with precision, and vinification is carefully controlled, supported by modern technologies (optical sorting and R’Pulse system), while ageing is carried out with equal care in French oak barrels. A thorough study of the gravel soils led to reshaping the vineyard, identifying distinct sectors aligned with the ancient terraces formed over thousands of years. This precise mapping allows vineyard practices and vinification to be tailored to each soil type, clearly revealing the different expressions of the Margaux terroir. Each parcel is vinified separately to express its singular character with the greatest accuracy.
