Branaire-Ducru 2020 (Half Bottle) — a graceful Saint-Julien Fourth Growth in half format.
Château Branaire-Ducru, a Saint-Julien Fourth Growth, is prized for its structure, balance and ageing potential. The 2020 is Cabernet Sauvignon-led with Merlot — powerful yet graceful, in a convenient half bottle.
A bouquet of blackcurrant and cassis with graphite, cedar, violets, tobacco and spice. Medium to full-bodied, powerful yet graceful, with ripe black fruit and well-integrated tannins, finishing long and lingering with refreshing acidity.
