There is a quiet level of refinement at Branaire that has become more apparent in recent times, and we like it a lot. Saint Julien is often the overall winner when we look back at our notes on the value and class across the appellation, and Branaire is right up there. François-Xavier Moreteau told us that the blend of 60:30 Cab to Merlot with 10% Cab Franc seems to be optimum across these vineyards, and we agree. His wine has lovely aromas, a hint of oak under blackcurrant, then blueberry and cinnamon on the palate. Juicy, round and fresh with lovely mouthfeel, some density but very pure and beautifully balanced, it?s a dream to taste now yet presence and command. A winner. 5-15 years.

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.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
