A remarkable estate from Saint-Julien, with an exemplary work ethos, Château Branaire-Ducru is one of the jewels of the appellation. Located on a 50-hectare plot of quaternary gravel from the former Chateau Beychevelle estate, Chateau Branaire-Ducru is one of the Médoc's little-known gems. Combining finesse and richness of body, it is one of the best deals in its appellation.
