]]> Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC https://vinumlector.com/our-wine/france/bordeaux/margaux/chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe-aoc/ Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:40:29 +0000 https://vinumlector.com/?post_type=product&p=5881 Since Henri Lurton took over in 1992, he has made it his mission to produce the best possible wine, reinforcing Brane’s position as a second classified growth in 1855. The result is a fine wine that perfectly expresses its remarkable terroir. The rainfall marked this vintage. Despite their very low yields and their natural precocity, Merlots did not provide a sufficient level of quality, hence their historically low proportion in the Brane-Cantenac blend. Conversely, thanks to the precocity of the Brane plateau, the Cabernet Sauvignon was able to achieve good quality on this 2013 vintage. For more info, visit Château Brane-Cantenac website.
