The ultimate "inflation buster!" Classed growth Medoc masterpieces with perfect provenance... Chateau Direct!
We are pleased to present a great offer straight from the Chateau. Branaire needs no introduction. Now under the direction of the charismatic and super talented Francois-Xavier Maroteaux this 60 hectare estate in Saint-Julien has consistently made age-worthy wines with beautiful, pure fruit and aromatics that let you know right away that you are in the commune of St. Julien. Look at these prices! Where else in the world can you get wines of this quality without breaking the bank?
p.s. While these are all famous highly scored vintages don't sleep on the 2011. FX talked me in to buying some at a dinner in NYC back in January and I'll say he was right on. The wine is awesome and even a very famous wine critic called it as 2010 when he tasted it blind at the Chateau…..
