2020 Branaire Ducru

How can we define the style of Branaire Ducru ? The first word that comes to mind is, finesse and elegance. Indeed, François-Xavier Maroteaux (owner) and Jean-Dominique Videau (Director and Winemaker) wish the wines they produce to keep the specific style that comes from the terroir. François-Xavier’s father, Patrick Maroteaux, considered the wines he produced were made for pleasure, so the drinkability was key to him: “A story written and conceived for pleasure, devoted to pleasure. So true is it that in the land of Medoc, pleasure is the ultimate outcome of all efforts.” We are convinced that the quality of the wines produced at Branaire Ducru is unbeatable at this price level. Key points - Family owned and managed since 1988 - A wine of very high quality and very well rated - In January 2021 François-Xavier Maroteaux begins the construction of a 100% gravity cellar with 75 suspended tanks Tasting Tasting now, Branaire-Ducru 2020 is deep in colour. Already, a very expressive nose of lovely, ripe fruits. After some aeration in the glass, it offers fine, spicy notes and an overall freshness. The palate is very well balanced. Fleshy and yet delicately smooth, with elegant tannins. A long and impressive finish. From beginning to end, the tasting unfolds with a beautiful sense of harmony.
