Overview

Chateau Brane-Cantenac is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux wine region of France.


The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Deuxiemes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The estate also produces a second wine named Baron de Brane, a label named Chateau Notton, and a generic Margaux.


Previously a reputed estate named Chateau Gorce (sometimes recorded as Gorse), its wine was sold at high prices and was listed as a second growth in pre-1855 classifications such as Cocks & Fret. It was acquired in 1833 by Baron Hector de Branne, termed the "Napoelon of the Vines", who named the estate after himself, a bold gesture for that period. Having once also owned the land that today is Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the sale of Chateau Brane-Mouton helped finance the purchase of this estate. With the Baron's total devotion to the vineyard, the wine was estimated to be the finest produced in Cantenac.


In the early 20th century the vineyard lost much of its reputation, and in 1922 it was acquired by the Lurton family. In 1992 control passed to Lucien Lurton's son, Henri Lurton.


The vineyard abuts other Margaux chateaux, including Chateau Cantenac-Brown and Chateau Boyd-Cantenac, in separate lots totalling 94 hectares (230 acres). The grape varieties cultivated are 62.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 0.5 Carmenere. Producing annually 30,000 cases, Brane-Cantenac makes a second wine Baron de Brane, an additional label named Chateau Notton using grapes from the Notton vineyard, a plot acquired from Chateau d'Angludet, and a generic Margaux wine with grapes sourced from young vineyards.
