Chateau Branaire-Ducru 2009

ROBERT PARKER “Château Branaire-Ducru, located in the esteemed Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, is celebrated for its precision and elegant wines. The 2009 vintage is a standout, marked by a beautiful balance of power and finesse. With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine shows layers of blackcurrant, dark cherries, and earthy undertones, wrapped in silky tannins and supported by fresh acidity. The warm vintage conditions lent a richness and complexity to the wine, making it approachable now but with the structure to evolve gracefully over the coming decades. A fine example of Saint-Julien craftsmanship.”
