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.
A powerful bouquet, rich and perfumed with notes of cedar wood. The palate is voluptuous with dark chocolate, sweet red cherry spiced with baked plum and a touch of dried herbs. This is an intense but stylish Brane, heavily dominated by 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with balanced tannins and a lovely warmth and spice on the finish. A big wine, but worthy of long ageing I suspect.
Harvest 2nd September - 2nd October with a yield of 32hl/ha. Only 40% of the crop went into the Grand Vin in 2025. The final blend will be aged in 80% new oak barrels. 13.3% Alc.
