Sommelier's Notes

Château Branaire Ducru is a 4th Classified Growth of the Saint-Julien appellation. With an area of 59 hectares its vineyard has an average age of 35 years and the aging is done in new barrels at 60-65%. The property can count on a vineyard with the superb soil but does not rest that on this, and in this optics all the details are watched without the least concession by the teams of the vine and the cellar. So we understand better why these wines express the depth, elegance and tannic richness of the fruits born on these soils mostly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon."Above all for us, in Branaire-Ducru, history is written, intended for pleasure, devoted to pleasure, so true is it that in the land of Medoc, pleasure is the supreme completion of all efforts"



Youthfully rigid, with a strong apple wood frame around the vivid cherry and cassis fruit flavors, cruising through a grippy, briar-edged finish. The fruit is pure, but this has moderate range overall. Drink as soon as the tension eases up. Best from 2021 through 2028.
