Buy Brane-Cantenac, our wines at the best price

Château Brane-Cantenac did not always bear this name. Indeed, he passed through several masters and each one had given him his patronymic. Thus, in the 18th century, the Hostein family lived there and was succeeded by the Gorce family. The Gorce family produced one of the best vintages of the region when they settled in this domain.

The Brane’s were the next owners of the property. And it is Baron Hector de Brane who gave his letters of nobility to this site and its wines. He is nicknamed the “Napoleon of the vines”. In 1925, the château was bought by the Lurton family, and it was Lucien who managed the vineyards until 1992. Henri Lurton inherited the estate in that year and continues to preserve the terroir and its resources. He is therefore in charge of 75 hectares of vines which are composed of Cabernet Sauvignon at 55%, Merlot at 40%, Cabernet Franc at 4.5% and Carmenere at 0.5%. The ensemble proliferates on deep gravel soils, richly mineralized, and benefits from an excellent natural drainage. Currently, with an eco-responsible aim, the owner is experimenting with organic viticulture on 10 hectares of the land.
