The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine It’s one of our ultimate, most favorite estates. Thanks to the vision, passion and expertise of Henri Lurton, who manages the estate with panache and talent, the Château Brane-Cantenac has become one of the most sought-after Grands Crus Classés (Classified Growth) of Margaux. 

The vineyard masters each vintage with unfailing regularity. Here, the finesse and delicacy of the Margaux terroir is never hidden between a too overpowering texture. The wines are elegant and refined, an ode to this exceptional winemaking region.
Wine Flamboyant, delicious, carried by lively and crunchy aromas of fruit, the 2017 Red Château Brane-Cantenac displays an unparalleled elegance. In this vintage, which combines freshness and depth, the wine reveals its purest aromatic expression in a texture of great refinement dear to Margaux. Full of promise, it will not disappoint and the most impatient tasters can already pair it with a veal chop with rosemary juice. Rated 94/100 by the RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested and vinified in wooden vats.
Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which are new.
