Chateau Branaire-Ducru 2012 (750ml) (Fourth Growth Grand Cru Classe)
Country/Region: Bordeaux, France
Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Tasting note: The 2012 Brainaire-Ducru is a soft, forward but very pleasing Saint-Julien that is likely to offer its best drinking sooner rather than later. Sweet tobacco, wild flowers, mint and red-fleshed fruits find support in silky tannins that add to the wine's considerable appeal.
Food Pairing: Meat: Beef, Game, Sausages & Cheese: Blue cheese, Goat cheese
