Château BRANAIRE-DUCRU
4ème grand cru classé

Since its purchase by Mr. Maroteaux, Branaire-Ducru has made rapid progress, as did the construction of the new winery, which allows it to work only by gravity, without a pump that could "chew" the wines. Branaire-Ducru is the leader of the appellation's 3-4ème crus classés (Lagrange, Talbot, Beychevelle, Saint-Pierre) and certainly the finest of them.

J-M Quarin: 93/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Very aromatic nose, fruity, fine and subtle, evolving towards ripe fruit as the glass is shaken. Delicately fleshy on the palate, with class in the texture and a melting body, the wine glides through to the finish, fragrant, unputdownable and very good. A fine piece of work." (April 2025)
