Château Branaire-Ducru

Château Branaire-Ducru

The Château Branaire-Ducru is one of the most modern Domaines from Saint-Julien, whose particularly elegant wines invite nothing but pleasure. The first owner was a Bordeaux notary, Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, who in 1680 fully perceived its potential.

The Château as we know it today was built by his descendants, the Duluc family. 

In 1855, the Château Branaire was named Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification formalized for the Paris World's Fair. The name Branaire (Duluc-Ducru) was finally adopted by Gustave Ducru in 1857. It wasn't until 1988 that it came under the banner of the Maroteaux family, marking the beginning of an era of modernity with the aim of producing great wines, irreproachable in expression and complexity. Today, François-Xavier Maroteaux is the second generation to uphold this philosophy.

The Château Branaire-Ducru lies on magnificent soil of deep gravel over clay, facing the Gironde estuary. The 60-hectare vineyard is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc.

The estate also produces a Second wine, Duluc de Branaire-Ducru.

The wines of Château Branaire-Ducru are wines of emotion: fleshy, complex and sign a true expression of fruit.

Description Château Branaire-Ducru 2021.

"The wine presents itself to us adorned with a magnificent robe of a very dark, brilliant red. The nose is concentrated and complex, offering fragrances of dark berries, cocoa beans, humus and undergrowth. Full-bodied on the palate, it evolves into a powerful, supple wine. Perfectly chiseled tannins are balanced by fine acidity on the finish. The finish, with its sweet fruity flavors, is magnificently successful and promises superb ageing potential."

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
