Château Branaire-Ducru Saint Julien 4e Grand Cru Classé is a classic Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc region. This wine is characterized by a blend with a dominant role for Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. The wine offers aromas of ripe black fruit, such as blackberries and cherries, complemented by notes of cedar wood, tobacco, and subtle spices. The taste is full and complex, with a fine balance between elegance and structure, supported by soft tannins that ensure a long and silky finish.
Château Branaire-Ducru is a versatile wine that goes well with grilled red meat, such as entrecote or rack of lamb. This wine also goes well with game dishes, such as venison or duck. For a special combination, the wine can be served with hard cheeses such as comté or old gouda, which complement and enhance the complex layers of flavour in the wine.
Founded in the 17th century, Château Branaire-Ducru is located in the heart of Saint-Julien and is classified as a 4th Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification. The winery is known for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods combined with modern techniques to continuously improve quality. The vineyards are located on gravelly soils, ideal for maturing Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux grapes, and the château applies strict selection criteria to use only the best fruit for their wines. With its depth, balance and elegance, Château Branaire-Ducru offers an exceptional expression of Saint-Julien.
