Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Saint-Julien

Château Branaire-Ducru has been owned by the Maroteaux family since 1988. Today it is managed by François-Xavier Maroteaux, whose father Patrick spared no effort to create the unique Branaire-Ducru style. In addition to significant investments in the vineyard and cellar, its proximity to the Gironde and gravelly soil guarantee distinctive red wines. All new technical investments have quickly paid off for Château Branaire-Ducru. Beginning with the 2000 vintage, Branaire-Ducru became one of Saint-Julien's top wines. It is considered one of the most attractively priced wines for high-quality Bordeaux.

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
