Château Branaire-Ducru is a Fourth Growth estate situated near Château Beychevelle in the south of the Saint-Julien appellation. Since 1988, Branaire-Ducru has been in the hands of Patrick Maroteaux, a former banker who developed a deep affection for both the Saint-Julien appellation and the Branaire-Ducru estate. During his stewardship, the property has expanded by an additional 10 hectares, accompanied by a comprehensive modernization and revitalization of both the winery and the vineyards. The 1990 vintage is now a fully mature Bordeaux, displaying notes of dried cherries, tobacco, leather, sous-bois, and a hint of truffle.
