Producer Profile
Chateau Branaire-Ducru
The owner of Branaire-Ducru is Patrick Maroteaux, who has headed up the Union des Grands Crus since 2000, and works tirelessly to promote the wines of the region, meaning you are as likely to bump into him at an airport in Hong Kong or New York as in the quiet roads of Saint Julien. His background in banking perhaps gives him a more international outlook than some estate owners, as do his years working in the sugar industry, in a company called Eurosucre (which belongs to the family of his wife Evelyn).
A Fourth Growth in 1855, the Chateau was built in 1824 by the Duluc family and today has 60 hectares of vines, but has been recently restored by Maroteaux, who bought the estate in 1988. Part of the restoration work has been the vinification room, which is now one of the most modern in the area, with gravity-fed winemaking (dating right back to 1991) carried out in 28 differently stainless-steel vats specially adapted to the size of plots in the vineyard. The fermentation temperature is usually fairly low – between 26 and28 degrees C – to keep emphasis on elegance, fruit and classic styling. Ageing is carried out in oak barrels for 16 to 20 months, with 60-65% new oak.
The usual blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, made from vines that are planted between 6,700 and 10,000 feet per hectare. Jean-Dominique Videau is technical director (who replaced Philippe Dhalluin when he left for Mouton-Rothshchild), and as with many of the best Left Bank estates, Eric and Jacques Boissenot work as consultants.
Second wine is Duluc de Branaire-Ducru, made from the young vines of the estate.
