The history of the house

Château Brane-Cantenac has roots dating back to the early 1800s. In 1833, Baron Hector de Brane – known as the “Napoleon of the vines” – took over the Château Gorce estate. He quickly recognized the extraordinary terroir of the area and dedicated himself fully to elevating the quality of the wine. In 1838, the château was renamed Brane-Cantenac, and in the famous classification of 1855, the property achieved the status of 2ème Grand Cru Classé. Since 1925, the château has been owned by the Lurton family, who through generations have preserved the house’s signature style: delicate, aromatic and elegant – the essence of Margaux.

Today, Château Brane-Cantenac is recognized worldwide for its ability to create wines with both finesse and ageing potential. The 1982 vintage stands as an iconic example of the house philosophy and the timeless greatness of Margaux.
