In a few words ...
Baron de Brane, nicknamed the "Napoleon of the vines", acquired Château Gorce in 1833. A pioneer in viticulture, he was well aware of the reputation and potential of this exceptional terroir, located on the best slopes of Cantenac: he devoted all his energy and fortune to it. In 1838, wishing to leave an indelible mark, he chose to rename Gorce: "Brane-Cantenac". In 1925, the Lurton family bought this prestigious cru and, from generation to generation, has perpetuated the complex, aromatic and delicate style of wine for which Brane-Cantenac is renowned.
