Château Branaire-Ducru

Descendents of the Branaire family held onto the estate despite the turmoil and changes of the French Revolution until 1919 when the estate was sold to the Tapie family who in turn sold it to Patrick Maroteaux in 1988. His son, François Xavier, now holds the reigns with the able assistance of manager Jean-Dominique Videau. Good for medium-term ageing.
