Tasting Notes

Spring suddenly arrived and kick-started the vines. Warm, dry weather were already on us, and it benefitted the fruit. Rare showers were welcome in summer. A warmer autumn and the lack of water made for well-ripened grapes. Harvesting began early with the last picking at the estate on 29th September. The 2011 is very silky on the palate and has especially elegant structure. It is very expressive, sharp and pure. The nose is open with lovely hints of black berries and spice. Already really enjoyable.

Product Highlights

Branaire does a great job with classic, elegant and well-balanced vintages, and here it really is delivering a delicious St-Julien. Plenty of depth to the fruit, alongside pencil lead aromatics. Traces of fig and spice that reflect the drought conditions of early in the year, but it has elegance and sapidity through the finish and is extremely classic. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
