Château Branaire-DucruBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
A classic Saint-Julien from a Fourth Growth estate, the 2019 vintage showcases elegance and structure, offering excellent aging potential and value.
Aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, and violet, with hints of cigar box and rose petals. The palate is medium to full-bodied, featuring fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, saline finish.
Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, or hearty mushroom dishes, complementing its depth and complexity.
Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux
Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
Best known in Bordeaux, Australia, Spain
A Bordeaux blending grape used in small doses for colour, spice and structure. Deep violet, with blackcurrant, violets and firm tannins. In warmer places such as Australia and Spain it ripens fully and makes powerful wines on its own.
France
The world's most famous wine region. Left bank: Cabernet-led, structured, age-worthy. Right bank: Merlot-forward, plush, generous. The greatest châteaux set the global benchmark for red wine; the Entre-Deux-Mers makes brilliant dry whites.
