Chateau Brane-Cantenac位於法國波爾多Margaux產區的Cantenac村裡，在Chateau Cantenac-Brown和Chateau Boyd-Cantenac旁邊；Cantenac村的土壤也有深厚的礫石層，因此擁有優異的潛力生產頂尖的紅酒，其中的佼佼者之一就是Brane-Cantenac。
Brane-Cantenac開創於18世紀初期，到了19世紀中已經成為紅透半邊天的名廠，1855年的頂級酒莊分級中，本酒莊被評定為二級酒莊，在本區裡僅次於Chateau Margaux。然而到了20世紀初本酒莊卻步入一段漫長的暗淡期，1925年Lurton家族買下了Brane-Cantenac經營直到現在，不過要到1990年代，年輕的莊主Henri Lurton接管本酒莊之後，才勵精圖治大幅整頓葡萄園和酒廠設備，將它又提升到非常高的水準。
酒評家認為近年來的Brane-Cantenac表現出Margaux紅酒既細緻優雅又紮實強勁的特色，像Robert Parker高度讚賞近年來的 Brane-Cantenac： “I can’t say enough about how beautifully classic, racy, and gracious the wines of Brane Cantenac have become over the last decade.”
WA:93-95 Drink:The 2015 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenère that was picked from 17 September until 7 October (that Carmenère was actually picked on 19 October). It was cropped at 51 hl/ha. This is classic Brane-Cantenac down the line: austere at first, almost aloof, but very well defined and over time it starts revealing lovely tobacco-stained black fruit. The palate is very well balanced with raspberry and wild strawberry on the entry, perhaps more red fruit than I was anticipating. Veins of undergrowth and cedar are in situ on this very well-balanced, reserved and classic Margaux boasting a long and persistent finish that feels satisfying, reassuring even. Not a Margaux for those that seek tons of fruit, it is nonetheless a very terroir-expressive wine that will repay those who know that this cru demands preferably 12-15 years in the cellar. Henri Lurton never wavers from his style of Margaux and it pays dividends here on this great wine for those with patience.
