Château Branaire-Ducru is a Fourth Growth estate situated near Château Beychevelle in the south of the Saint-Julien appellation. Since 1988, Branaire-Ducru has been in the hands of Patrick Maroteaux, a former banker who developed a deep affection for both the Saint-Julien appellation and the Branaire-Ducru estate. During his stewardship, the property has expanded by an additional 10 hectares, accompanied by a comprehensive modernization and revitalization of both the winery and the vineyards. The 1990 vintage is now a fully mature Bordeaux, displaying notes of dried cherries, tobacco, leather, sous-bois, and a hint of truffle.

The 1990 Branaire-Ducru is a vintage that, strangely, I had not encountered before. It has an attractive nose of black fruit tinged with peppermint, well-defined considering the warmth of the growing season, with a hint of aniseed. The palate has moved decidedly into its secondary phase, veering slightly towards more red fruit, mint and juniper. Maybe there is a soupçon of Brettanomyces here – not unusual in this vintage. Yet there is adequate freshness to keep this Saint-Julien on its toes. - Neil Martin

Chateau Branaire-Ducru

Founded in 1680 by Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, 4ème Cru Classé estate Château Branaire Ducru currently spans 60ha and is situated on the opposite side of the road from Château Beychevelle in the south of the St-Julien appellation. Renowned for producing pure and classic St-Julien, which is elegant, supple and well-balanced.

The estate is planted with predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, together with smaller amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and is used to produce both the historic first wine in addition to a second wine, Duluc de Branaire-Ducru. These are reds that are perfect for aging, opening up with time in bottle and offering superb freshness and purity.
