About the Producer Château Branaire-Ducru produces only 15,000 bottles per year and is classified as one of the ten 'Fourth Growths'. The Château overlooks Château Beychevelle with vineyards dedicated to the production of the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Taste Expressing a complex array of cherry, cedarwood, spices and leather, this is a very opulent style that mirrors the unusually hot conditions of 2003. Now approaching full maturity, it displays a wonderful balance between fruit and complexity. Awards/Press Awarded 94 by Wine Advocate: " This fully mature, gorgeous 2003 Branaire Ducru possesses silky tannins, lots of cedary, spice box, floral, black cherry, forest floor and velvety leather-like notes, full body, and an opulent, complex yet elegant style. A beauty of complexity, richness and finesse, it should continue to drink well for another 5-6 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #914, August 2014
