Beautiful garnet colour, deep and shiny. The nose is intense, complex and fine, exhaling aromas of flowers, black fruits and a hint of spice giving an impression of freshness. On the palate the wine is harmonious and long. It is full-bodied and endowed with great sweetness. On the mid-palate a mellow sensation comes together with great concentration and very nice acidity. It is ample, soft, spherical, powerful but all in finesse. Freshness dominates with pleasant aromas of fresh black fruits and spices. This wine never seems to disappear as its finish is long and persistent.

Ageing Potential: 30 to 40 years.

The story

Château Brane-Cantenac was for many years the home of Lucien Lurton - it is now owned and run by his son Henri. Its vineyards are located west of the village of Cantenac in the Margaux appellation.

Since Henri took over, there has been extensive investment in the cuverie and chai, as well as vastly improved vineyard management techniques. Consequently, the wines at Brane Cantenac now show more weight and concentration, although they still possess that haunting bouquet and quintessential elegance that characterise the wines of Margaux. It is classified as a 2ème Cru Classé.
