Description

The Duluc de Branaire-Ducru is showing great finesse in its 2016 vintage. This St Julien red offers up a suave palate, with a lovely weight and underlying freshness. Following on from aromas of red fruit and cedar, there are pleasing cassis notes on the mid-palate and some crunchy blackcurrant fruit. These flavours are wrapped up beautifully in a poised and elegant finish.

About this wine

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
