Description

A vivid crimson, the 2017 is a blend of 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 percent Merlot, four and a half percent Cabernet Franc and six and a half percent Petit Verdot. There is a slight earthy note to the nose, mingled with red fruit and spice. Medium-bodied, the palate has stylish, juicy fruit with grippy soft tannins and a core of ethereal acidity and freshness. It finishes with a consistent, saline minerality and a long, fine finish. Very charming.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 89/100

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Branaire-Ducru gives up plum preserves, baked blackcurrants, kirsch and boysenberries with hints of earth, tobacco, herbs and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh and clean with herbal sparks and a slight chew to the texture, finishing savory.

Drink 2020 - 2030
