Live from the Vines: Château Brane-Cantenac
Hosted by Jane Anson & Henri Lurton
With its grand, almost exclusively gold label – certainly one of the world’s most eye-catching – second growth Château Brane-Cantenac certainly talks the talk, but it has long since demonstrated it also walks the walk.
A Margaux property of distinction, Brane-Cantenac’s story began over 250 years ago, and its reputation was fixed long before Bordeaux’s 1855 classification set in stone the hierarchy of its Médoc estates.
Henri Lurton is the latest member of the renowned Lurton family to own Brane-Cantena, and since his stewardship began in 1992 the wines have reached even greater heights.
He is joined by Bordeaux expert Jane Anson to talk about his unwavering quest to secure Brane-Cantenac’s status for future generations and virtual members can also taste alongside and indulge in a selection of library vintages pulled from Brane-Cantenac’s cellars.
