Château Branaire-Ducru - Saint-Julien - Red - 2024

A true reference point for Saint-Julien, Château Branaire-Ducru stands out for its vibrant freshness, refined structure, and beautifully defined fruit flavors. Always consistent, always composed, it gains polish and finesse with age—and has rightfully earned its spot as one of the Médoc’s most dependable and admired names.

Softer and more harmonious than many of its neighbors, Branaire-Ducru is a wine that evolves gracefully in the cellar, thriving on balance and quiet power rather than brute strength.

It’s been a favorite of ours for many years—and once again, in 2024, it doesn’t disappoint.

This vintage reveals a streamlined, focused structure with moderate power, subtle charm, and a distinctly elegant style. Classic in its profile, it flows effortlessly across the palate, carried by fresh energy, stretched texture, and fine, sapid tannins that promise a beautiful evolution over time.

One of the personal favorites of Best Sommelier in the World Olivier Poussier, who secures a case of it every year—it’s a wine not to be missed!
