Red dry
A classic expression of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Branaire-Ducru embodies the Left Bank elegance and longevity that define great Bordeaux. This wine unites the power of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ with the suppleness of ‘Merlot’, ‘Petit Verdot’, and ‘Cabernet Franc’, creating a harmonious and finely structured whole.
The aroma is complex and layered, revealing notes of blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, complemented by subtle hints of cedarwood, tobacco, vanilla, and graphite. It shows a pure, precise style where the classic Médoc character meets the warmth and generosity of the 2015 vintage.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet elegant. Firm but silky tannins are balanced by fresh acidity, giving the wine vitality and lift. The finish is long and refined, with lingering nuances of dark berries, cocoa, and delicate spice.
The grapes come from the Château Branaire-Ducru estate, located next to the renowned Château Beychevelle, where gravel and clay soils contribute both structure and finesse.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity, followed by 18 months of aging in French oak barrels (about 60% new oak) to add subtle spice and depth without overpowering the fruit.
Serving recommendation: Serve at 16–18 °C with grilled beef tenderloin, beef tenderloin with black cherry sauce, or mature hard cheese.
