Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend


Wow, finely dense blackcurrant fruit with layers of complexity behind the richness, lifted and evolving, floral, slightly earthy. There's a soulful purity and length of fresh fruit, acid and well integrated tannins, totally in balance!

Aug 30th, 2022Beautiful, complex wine. Berries and currants, rose petals, violets, and a touch of soil. Perfectly balanced with a long finish. Medium acidity and well-integrated tannins.

Dec 26th, 2016Dans le style du millésime avec cependant une buvabilité surprenante. Boisé fondu et intégré belle longueur.

Nov 1st, 2016Nice floral bouquet on the nose. Bright spicy fruit that lasts on the palette but not overwhelming. There are sharp cheddar notes on the finish. It has enough tannins to last a while in the bottle, but already well balanced at 5-yrs. since it was bottled. I am impressed by this Bordeaux. Drank with a slice of pizza for my youngest daughter's birthday party!
