Region: France, Bordeau, Saint Julien 

Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot & Cabernet Franc 

Background: Château Branaire-Ducru is located in the heart of the Medoc, between Margaux and Pauillac in the Saint-Julien appellation area. It is surrounded by the other great Classified Growths that populate this outstanding terroir. The vines grow in a mixture of gravel and pebbles, deposited there by the River Garonne in the Quaternary Period. 

Tasting notes: An appealing nose, aromatic with hints of pepper and blackberry fruit. Good body and really well judged balance. This is the second wine of Château Branaire-Ducru.
