Chateau Branaire-Ducru 1995 Vintage Overview

1995 OVERVIEW

With its poised, gently mature profile, the 1995 Château Branaire-Ducru offers sweet blackcurrant and dark plum fruit layered with floral tones, cedar, and a touch of roasted coffee and tobacco. Medium to full in body but never heavy, it glides on fine, velvety tannins, showing the vintage’s classic structure and a savory, saline-edged finish that lingers with quiet confidence rather than power.

About Chateau Branaire-Ducru

Château Branaire-Ducru is the grand vin of this historic 4ème Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Julien, crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon grown on warm, deep Quaternary gravel that yields particularly pure, ripe fruit. Known for its combination of finesse, freshness, and vibrant black-fruit character rather than sheer power, it typically shows fine tannins, floral and spicy nuances from Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and a refined structure that allows it to age gracefully over decades.
