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. 


Baron de Brane retains the same style as its predecessor, using the same rigorous approach: it is a very pleasing and more immediate alternative to the Château's style. A magnificent price-pleasure equation that makes sense with this magnificent vintage!
