Château Branaire-Ducru 2016, Saint-Julien

Branaire-Ducru was born from the division of Château Beychevelle’s vast lands in the 17th century. Known for purity and precision, it leans on Cabernet Sauvignon from its gravelly Saint-Julien soils, with Merlot and Petit Verdot adding complexity.

The 2016 vintage is widely seen as one of Bordeaux’s modern greats: ripe yet balanced, powerful but elegant. Branaire-Ducru 2016 is often singled out as a benchmark, with silky tannins and freshness.
