EN PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2024 - DELIVERY SPRING 2025

Brane Cantenac's roots can be traced back to the early 18th century. At the time it was owned by the Gorce family and known as Château Gorce (and for a while as Château Gorce Guy). Henri Lurton has been director of this Château since 1992, which has been in the hands of the Lurton family since 1925. The excellent quality of the terroir, which is inextricably linked to the perfectionism of the owner, ensures that this wine is truly incredibly beautiful. One of the best brands from the Médoc with a guaranteed fixed value. Today the Château consists of 90 hectares of vineyards in the Margaux appellation. The largest vineyard covers 45 hectares and is located next to the Château on the plateau de Brane. The 2nd vineyard (22 hectares) is located further north near Soussans. The other vineyards are located further south near Arsac. The terroir consists mainly of gravel but to a lesser extent also of sand and clay. This Margaux consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Baron de Brane is the second wine from Château Brane Cantenac.

The 2022 Margaux from Brane Cantenac is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, supplemented with Cabernet Franc, Carmenère and Petit Verdot and has a stunning elegance and shows subtle notes of tobacco and beautiful red fruit. The wine is refined and medium to full-bodied on the palate with a nice concentration of fruit and acidity. The Brane Catenanc has a complex, lush personality with strikingly beautiful, velvety tannins and a very nice drinking window.
