Brane-Cantenac 1990 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Brane-Cantenac is an esteemed Second Growth property from Margaux formerly owned by Lucien Lurton and managed by his son, Henri, since 1992. The Grand Vin of Château Brane-Cantenac is noted for its ripe tannins, excellent fruit concentration and structure, and perfumed delicacy – all characteristics of the finest wines of Margaux. "Seemingly fully mature, this wine has evolved quickly. The colour shows some amber at the edge. A sweet nose of smoked herbs, jammy cherries, and black currants is intermixed with spice box, cedar, and a weediness. The wine is lush, medium-bodied, and very soft." Wine Advocate, 2003
Formerly owned by the great figures of Bordeaux wine, Lucien Lurton, Château Brane-Cantenac is a highly respected Second Growth estate in Margaux. The estate has been owned and run by Lucien’s son, Henri, since 1992. Although perceived to have gone through a lull during the 1970s and 1980s, historically, Brane-Cantenac was always regarded as the a ‘Super Second’. This reputation has only been enhanced by Henri Lurton, through the implementation of better vineyard management techniques (the entire 75ha has been certified organic since 2016) and investment in cutting-edge cellar technology (for example, optical sorting machines).
The estate grows mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (slightly more Cabernet) along with a small amount of Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. The Grand Vin of Château Brane-Cantenac is noted for its ripe tannins, excellent fruit concentration and structure, and perfumed delicacy – all characteristics of the finest wines of Margaux.
