The 2017 Château Branaire-Ducru Magnum (1.5 L) is a wine from Saint-Julien with a story of its own. The character of the region and the conditions of the vintage together determine its style. This bottle invites you to look beyond the familiar tasting notes and discover its origins as well. The larger size also makes this bottle perfect for sharing with fellow wine enthusiasts.
A magnum contains 1.5 liters of wine, twice the amount of a standard bottle. Château Branaire-Ducru is a Quatrième Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien, an appellation with gravelly soils and a long-standing reputation for elegant Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The 2017 vintage in Bordeaux was affected by spring frosts, but the consequences varied widely. For lovers of refined Bordeaux, this is an interesting year, with more emphasis on freshness than on massive power. The larger bottle size can allow for a more gradual aging process, as the ratio of wine to oxygen under the cork is favorable. While it’s no guarantee of quality, a good magnum can exhibit a particularly beautiful aging profile. Moreover, the size is ideal for a dinner with multiple guests.
Expect black currants, cassis, cherries, cedar, and subtle spices. The wine displays a structured yet elegant character, with fresh acidity. The final flavor may change as a result of further aging in the bottle and the conditions under which the wine is stored.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. If necessary, let the wine breathe a bit and taste how the aromas develop. Pair a red wine like this with lamb, beef, game, or a aged hard cheese. The exact pairing depends on the dish and the bottle’s age.
