Château Branaire-Ducru

4/5See the 262 reviews

Château Branaire-Ducru is located in the center of the Médoc, in the commune of Saint-Julien, forty kilometers from Bordeaux, between Margaux and Pauillac. The fifty hectares of Château Branaire-Ducru vineyards are spread over several parcels, along an east-west axis, in the southern part of the appellation. The soils and subsoils of Château Branaire-Ducru are composed of gravelly-siliceous alluvium from the Quaternary period. These terroirs, considered to be the warmest in the region, enable perfect ripening of Cabernet-Sauvignon and later grape varieties such as Petit Verdot. Château Branaire-Ducru has a particularly old vineyard, with many plots around fifty years old, and some over a hundred years old.

The Grand Cru du Château Branaire-Ducru is made from these venerable vines, while Duluc, the second wine, comes from the estate's younger vines. The grape varieties are traditional. Cabernet-Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc dominate with 74% of the surface area, while Merlot accounts for 22% and Petit Verdot 4%.

"Branaire-Ducru has always stood out for its finesse! Of course, this doesn't prevent it from asserting and underlining its Bordeaux nature, but in a style of its own to which we pay a great deal of attention. The bouquet evokes floral and fruity notes, all with finesse of course! The wine has body, depth and tannins that form a fine framework, with that magnificent notion of quiet strength! Branaire is a slender weightlifter capable of running 400 meters with her weights. What a magnificent achievement, what tannic precision, what relevance! This is a great Branaire-Ducru " ( Yves Beck 2022).

3/5 (1 review)

The vineyards that produce Branaire-Ducru Haut-Médoc are located in the neighboring Saint-Julien. Technological advances in the vat room, and in particular gravity, enable to produce a wine in the same spirit as Saint-Julien: purity of fruit, balance and elegance of substance. Slender and brilliantly slender, the palate is melted and supple, with very fine, already well-integrated tannins. tannins.
