Château Branaire Ducru - 4e G.C.C. | St. Julien
Red wine | France, SAINT-JULIEN | 2018
The nose, which is very expressive, shows a nice complexity of ripe fruit, well
balanced by fresher notes. The intensity of the bouquet develops with aeration
and the oak is well integrated.
The fi rst impression on the palate is one of silky roundness with impressive
volume, overlaying extremely fine tannins. The wine develops slowly and gradually
on the palate, following its logical path to a voluptuous mid-palate with beautiful
density: always refined – never overpowering.
The aromatic complexity, and delicious acidity are omni-present with a lovely
long-lasting fruit fi nish ensuring freshness and lift.
