]]> Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC https://test.vinumlector.com/our-wine/france/bordeaux/margaux/chateau-brane-cantenac-margaux-grand-cru-classe-aoc/ Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:40:29 +0000 https://test.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. Brane’s great success in this vintage is down to the terroir, which leads grapes to ripen early. The fact that 68% of Cabernet Sauvignon we included in the blend of Brane-Cantenac 2012 bears witness to its beautiful maturity, and to the excellent work that was done in the vineyard.
