In the early 20th century the Chateau Brane Cantenac lost much of its reputation, and in 1922 it was acquired by the Lurton family. In 1992 control passed to Lucien Lurton's son, Henri Lurton. The wines are indeed elegant and consistent. It is expected concentration, depth, complexity, vigour, a higher quality of tannins, silkiness even, and longevity. The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (5%).
