The vineyards of this château are located to the west of the village of Cantenac. Proprietor Henri Lurton has improved the quality in the vines, regrafting previously planted Merlot to high quality Cabernet Sauvignon.
Planted on 72 hectares of fine gravel and clay that forms the 'Brane' of Cantenac - a plateau that regularly produces exceptional wines. The nose is softly lush, with notes of crunchy blackcurrant and plum, followed by a palate of fresh red fruits interlaced with mulled black cherry that shows both concentration and compactness. There is a careful use of oak and a fresh minerality, as well as a degree of salinity that makes a perfect balance with the ripeness of fruit. The finish is long, firm and powerful.
