Château Branaire-Ducru is a Fourth Growth Bordeaux red wine from the Saint-Julien appellation, bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The estate's typical blend is approximately 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Under owner Patrick Maroteaux, it became one of the first Left Bank properties to adopt a gravity-flow winery, beginning with the 1991 vintage. Primary fermentation lasts roughly three weeks in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Aromas include red and black currants, crème de cassis, plum, violets, cedar, pencil shavings, mocha and discreet new oak. The palate is supple and velvety, with ripe cherry, red currant, dark berry, baking chocolate and spice-box flavours. The finish is long and refined, with cedar, tobacco leaf, forest-floor earthiness and a floral, slightly smoky quality.
