Deeply aromatic, the 2018 Branaire-Ducru offers enticing notes of currants, sandalwood and crushed tiles, layered over a rich core of black and red fruits. Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, the wine showcases a tight, dense mid-palate of vibrant cassis and plum, supported by firm, polished tannins. Hints of mocha, tobacco and violet emerge as the wine unfolds, leading to a long, pure, and beautifully structured finish. Quite possibly the finest Branaire-Ducru ever made, and a Saint-Julien full of energy, refinement and longevity.

Critic reviews

James Suckling, 97/100

The Wine Cellar Insider, 95/100

Showing better from the bottle than in barrel, the wine is loaded with black and red berries, smoke, mocha, flowers and coffee bean. Elegant, refined, silky and fresh, the fruit offers this gorgeous sense of purity from the start continuing straight through to the vibrant, red berry packed finish. Fans of Branaire-Ducru should be all over this gem. The wine is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Read more at:
