This vertical presents three outstanding Saint-Julien vintages, highlighting Branaire-Ducru’s finesse with 2018’s rich blackberry and silky tannins, 2019’s layered dark fruit and floral nuance, and 2020’s dense black fruit and refined structure.
A near-perfect growing season makes the 2018 Château Branaire-Ducru a textbook example of Saint-Julien’s potential for balance and complexity. The estate’s deep gravel soils promote drainage, ensuring purity and precision in the fruit, while sustainable farming enhances freshness. Aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and cedar lead to a layered palate of ripe blackberry, licorice, and graphite, with silky tannins and remarkable length.
In the warm 2020 vintage, the team at Château Branaire-Ducru employed precise vineyard management and nighttime harvesting to preserve freshness. Deep gravel soils provided structure and finesse, resulting in a wine with aromas of blackberry, plum, and violets. The dense palate offers dark berries, licorice, and crushed stone, with polished tannins delivering remarkable balance and an elegant finish, making this a standout for the vintage.
