2016 Château Branaire Ducru 4. Cru Saint-Julien

Château Branaire-Ducru is one of the comets of Saint-Julien - originally part of Château Beychevelle, which when the 1855 classification came into force was owned by the French king. Like many other Bordeaux lovers, Robert Parker is also a fan and writes; "Excellent, should be upgraded to a 3. Cru" and he even adds that Branaire-Ducru in top vintages can be as good as the 1. Cru's. The cellars of the beautiful chateau are state-of-the-art, where everything is controlled down to the smallest detail. Château Branaire-Ducru is known for an elegant perfumed style with great personality, depth and complexity. The wine offers a cascade of scents in the bouquet; cedar, black berries and its characteristic scent of chocolate that makes it so easily recognizable in blind tastings. The wine swells with class and elegance, offering plenty of complexity and finesse in a very delicious velvety texture. Translated using AI.
