The 60 hectare vineyard of Branaire Ducru is planted to Cabernet-Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (28%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and 3% Petit Verdot.
More open than many 2015 St.-Juliens at this stage in spite of the firm, dry tannin structure behind the bright cassis. The tannins need some integration, but with some patience (from 2021 or 2022), this will become a rather fine wine.
93 points James Suckling
Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2015 Branaire-Ducru has an earthy nose over a core of red and black currants with hints of tapenade, pencil shavings and sage. The medium-bodied palate is firm and chewy, with just enough fruit and a lively finish.Drink 2019-2031.
