About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceFrance's Bordeaux, is the spiritual home of the Cabernet family of grapes, which extends beyond Sauvignon and Franc to Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. If you love Margaret River Cabernet blends, or indeed the Merlot dominant reds of Hawkes Bay, NZ, then you must look at the wines upon which many of them have been modelled. The 2008 Château Branaire-Ducru from St-Julien is a pleasant departure in style than the recent years with some up-front fruit and a touch of opulence. Still with all the hallmarks of great structure and purity typical of the the appellation.

A stunning success for the vintage, this enticing St.-Julien reveals notes of lead pencil shavings, sweet raspberries and black currants and a subtle touch of oak.
