Dating back to the 17th Century, the estate was purchased after the French Revolution by Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane, who gave it his name. Through several changes in ownership the estate became the residence of Lucien Lurton in the 1950s and has been in the Lurton family a high-profile winemaking dynasty in Bordeaux ever since.
