Owned and managed by Henri Lurton, this 2ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux Château, situated to the west of the village of Cantenac. Richly aromatic, generous nose, like sniffing a jam making factory through a spice box filter!

Château Brane Cantenac

The vineyards of this château are located to the west of the village of Cantenac. Proprietor Henri Lurton has improved the quality in the vines, regrafting previously planted Merlot to high quality Cabernet Sauvignon.

Planted on 72 hectares of fine gravel and clay that forms the 'Brane' of Cantenac - a plateau that regularly produces exceptional wines. The nose is softly lush, with notes of crunchy blackcurrant and plum, followed by a palate of fresh red fruits interlaced with mulled black cherry that shows both concentration and compactness. There is a careful use of oak and a fresh minerality, as well as a degree of salinity that makes a perfect balance with the ripeness of fruit. The finish is long, firm and powerful.
Delicious with rare roast beef with seasonal vegetables and yorkshire pudding.
Aged in 100% new oak barrels for 18 months.
