Chateau Brane-Cantenac

Château Bran-Cantenac dates back to the 18th century. It was originally called Château Grasse after its founder. Long before the classification of 1855, its excellent wines made the chateau famous both in France and far beyond its borders. It is therefore not surprising that the famous winemaker Baron de Bran, known in his circles as the "Napoleon of the vine", acquired this magnificent estate in 1833 and gave it his name - Château Bran-Cantenac. Thanks to the efforts of the baron, the chateau's wines reached an even higher level and before the First World War they were proudly called "First of the Second", and their price was equal to the wines of the Premier Grand Cru Classe. In 1992, the Chateau was inherited by Henry Lurton, who, having an education as an oenologist, set himself the goal of not only preserving the style of the aromatic and at the same time complex, harmonious wines of Bran-Cantenac, but also, by introducing new technologies, to put the Chateau wines on a par with the first Grand Cru Classé.
