Chateau Branaire-Ducru 2020 : Energetic Fourth Growth

Château Branaire-Ducru 2020 is a poised and vibrant red wine from one of the most consistent and refined estates in Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Classified as a Fourth Growth in 1855, Branaire-Ducru is located in the southern part of Saint-Julien, where gravelly soils over clay offer ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2020 vintage, marked by a warm and dry season with timely rainfall, yielded a wine of remarkable precision, depth, and freshness—true to the estate’s signature style of finesse and balance.

The bouquet opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, red plum, and violet, layered with graphite, crushed stones, cedar, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of dark berries, tobacco, and mineral tones unfold with clarity and length, leading to a graceful, persistent finish that speaks to the wine’s aging potential and elegance.

This vintage pairs beautifully with dishes such as herb-crusted lamb, roast duck, mushroom risotto, or semi-hard cheeses like aged Tomme de Savoie or Cantal—meals that complement its supple texture and layered complexity.
