96 Points, Gilbert & Gaillard"Deep crimson. Nose of fresh red fruit and refined oak. Fine-grained, tightly-knit texture, good exuberance and stuffing framed by a powerful, warm structure. Harmonious. Good potential."
95 Points, Decanter Magazine "Herbal and dark-fruited, has body and movement with high acidity offsetting sleek tannins and mineral elements. Lovely focus and freshness, persistence and drive. Good combination of weight and grippy tannins, with bright fruit, liquorice, cola and some dryness on the finish. Classical, gentle and satisfying.”
17/20 Points, Julia Harding MW "Deep garnet. Attractively complex nose on the cusp between fruit and tertiary aromas. A touch cedary. Super-fine, elegant tannins. Finesse and persistence and notable freshness."
Description
95 Points, Jane Arson, Decanter Magazine
"A vintage that just no question suits the soils of St-Julien. This is yet again showcasing the best of this property, with well placed juicy tannins and overall clear balance. Elegant and concentrated without straying into overpowering. Black fruits, stones, earth and spice. Will age for decades but it so drinkable already."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Chateau Branaire-Ducru
Château Branaire-Ducru is located in the heart of the Medoc, between Margaux and Pauillac in the Saint-Julien appellation area. It is surrounded by the other great Classified Growths that populate this outstanding terroir.
The vines grow in a mixture of gravel and pebbles, deposited there by the River Garonne in the Quaternary Period. The vineyard is made up of around fifteen different micro-terroirs and covers 60 hectares (nearly 150 acres) that link from East to West across the Southern part of the appellation area. The average age of the vines is 35 years.
In the cellar, the wine is aged in oak barrels where it matures for at least eighteen months. The barrels are made from timber selected in the best French forests. 60% of them are renewed every year. The harvest is fully bottled at the Château.
