Chateau Branaire-Ducru Saint-Julien

The Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855 has always been a very important and historic moment for the wine region of Bordeaux. Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according to a Chateau’s reputation and trading price, from First to Fifth Growths (crus). This isn’t a guarantee of quality but certainly a very impressive guideline to follow and have some fun with. In this classification system, Chateau Branaire-Ducru, in Saint-Julien, is rated as a Fourth Growth. This offering is refined and perfectly balanced, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It also has some serious backbone and energy, showcasing notes of blackcurrant, cassis, dark plum and black cherry, with a hint of licorice, clove, tobacco, chocolate and espresso.
