The structure and vivacity of a Second Cru Classé from Margaux
The property
This vineyard, named "Hostein" in the 18th century, was already one of the most beautiful labels in the Médoc at that time. At the helm of the Château Brane-Cantenac since 1992, Henri Lurton passionately perpetuates the viticultural adventure begun by his ancestors, combining tradition with modern infrastructure aimed at enhancing the identity of the wines from this exceptional terroir of the Margaux appellation.
The vineyard
Château Brane-Cantenac is a Margaux wine from a vineyard whose location within the Brane plateau terroir contributes to the elegant and aromatic signature of the property's wines. The Grand Vin is made from plots of old vines located on the 4th terrace with the most clayey gravels, within a historic terroir covering an area of about 45 hectares.
Vinification and aging
Vinification in wooden vats before aging for 18 months in barrels (70% of which are new).
Blend
Cabernet sauvignon (62%), merlot (30%) and cabernet franc (8%).

Nose
Nose combining refinement, concentration and aromatic complexity.
Palate
The palate, ample and harmoniously balanced, evolves towards a finish of great purity, long and intensely fresh. An exceptional vintage, up to the standard of the greatest vintages.
Service and aging
A decanting of 1h30 to 2h is recommended before serving at 18°C. This wine can be cellared until approximately 2040-2050.
Food and wine pairings
This cuvée pairs ideally with a low-temperature roasted squab, served with a crushed potato with hazelnut oil, a pan-fried mushrooms or small vegetables.
