Having tasted the 2021 Branaire-Ducru six times over the course of a month and a half, I feel confident in saying that it is a beautiful wine that numbers among the vintage's real successes. Offering up aromas of raspberry coulis and red cherries mingled with notions of rose petals, cigar box and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, with a layered core of fruit, lively acids and beautifully powdery tannins. Why is it quite so good? It isn't because a lot of wine was declassified, as around 60% of the estate's production went into the grand vin this year—a touch more than average. Rather, the key factors seem to be waiting to pick despite an alarming weather forecast; the blend itself, which emphasizes ripe Cabernet and the estate's later-ripening Merlot on clay-limestone soils; and the fact that a partially completed new winery means that Branaire already had fully 63 fermentation vats at its disposal to pick and vinify parcel by parcel. The exact composition is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.<br/>

Château Branaire Ducru
Situé juste le long de l'estuaire de la Gironde, Branaire-Ducru est le berceau de certains des plus grands terroirs de la région pour la viticulture - le gravier. En 1680, Jean-Bapiste Braneyre est le premier à découvrir l'incroyable potentiel de cette propriété, le classement de 1855 confirmant la qualité du terroir. Branaire-Ducru et ses prestigieux voisins formaient alors un groupe de châteaux qui sont désormais réputés dans le monde entier pour leurs excellents vins. Ici, la qualité est une priorité absolue et Branaire-Ducru met tout en œuvre pour exprimer la personnalité et la complexité intrinsèque du terroir. Composés principalement de Cabernet Sauvignon, les vins manifestent leur caractère année après année avec une grande régularité, montrant beaucoup de fruit, de fraîcheur et de subtilité. L'équipe de vinificateurs s’attache totalement à mettre en lumière ces caractéristiques dans chaque millésime, et Branaire-Ducru est invariablement un vin élégant et une quintessence de Saint-Julien.
