Château Brane-Cantenac

Château Brane-Cantenac – the soul of Margaux. Since the 17th century, this name has stood for Bordeaux elegance: finesse, complexity, and feminine grace. In 1833, Baron de Brane recognized the terroir's potential, and in 1855 it was awarded the title of Deuxième Grand Cru Classé. Today, Henri Lurton manages the estate – with a scientific background and the Lurton family legacy dating back to 1925. 75 hectares of gravelly soils, 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 percent Merlot, and 5 percent Cabernet Franc. Power and elegance in perfect balance. Brane-Cantenac is never loud, but always captivating. Blackberry, violet, truffle – and since 2019, an exceptional white wine as well.

Château Brane-Cantenac —
Margaux elegance since the 17th century

Château Brane-Cantenac lies in the heart of Margaux , on gravelly soils that retain heat and drain water—ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate comprises 75 hectares, 65 percent of which are planted with this main variety, complemented by 30 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Franc. The result is wines that do not pit structure and finesse against each other, but rather combine them harmoniously.

The estate's history dates back to the 17th century. In 1833, Baron de Brane recognized the terroir's potential, and in 1855, Brane-Cantenac was classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé—a designation that remains to this day. Since 1925, the estate has been owned by the Lurton family; today, Henri Lurton manages it with a scientific approach and respect for his ancestors' heritage.

In the glass, the red wines display blackberry, violet, and, over time, a subtle truffle note—never overpowering, but with a lasting presence. Since 2019, a white wine has complemented the range, demonstrating that Brane-Cantenac also excels beyond the classic Bordeaux red wine tradition.
