This case contains three 1.5-liter magnums of Château Branaire-Ducru 2018. Together, they total 4.5 liters of Bordeaux from Saint-Julien. This size is not only festive but also appealing to wine enthusiasts who want to taste the same wine at different times.
Château Branaire-Ducru has been classified as a Quatrièmes Grands Crus Classés since the 1855 classification. The estate is located in Saint-Julien, where gravelly soils and Cabernet Sauvignon help shape the wine’s classic structure. In 2018, a wet spring was followed by a warm, dry summer. This shift resulted in a ripe harvest and wines with great concentration. Branaire-Ducru combines this richness with the refined style for which the estate is known. In a magnum, the ratio of wine to oxygen under the cork is different than in a standard bottle. As a result, the wine can age more gradually, provided the bottles are stored properly. With three magnums, you can also track the vintage’s development over several years. This makes this case particularly appealing for your own cellar or for sharing.
Expect blackcurrant, black cherries, plums, cedar, and subtle spices. The flavor is full-bodied and well-structured, with ripe tannins and a fresh, lively quality. As the wine ages in the bottle, more complex aromas may develop.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Lamb, beef, and aged hard cheeses pair well with this classic style. A magnum is ideal for a larger group.
