[Chateau Branaire Ducru 2021]

Robert Parker rating：94/100

Château Palmer is the first-class wine of Cathay Pacific Airlines. Its Chinese name comes from a Chinese naming contest held by the airline in 2006. It is a historic winery. It is located in the Saint Julien area of Medoc, covering an area of 50 hectares. Each year, 75% of new oak barrels are used for fermenting grapes, which is very rare among non-first growth estates. With craftsmanship and management on par with first growths, many of the wines produced by Branaire-Ducru often exhibit quality that surpasses their classification. In 2021, Branaire-Ducru has already realized all the potential it showed during the en primeur tasting. The wine wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries, plums, menthol, violets, and roasted chocolate. The body is medium to full-bodied, smooth and gentle, with a velvety texture on the palate, a lingering finish, and a rich mouthfeel.

Grape varieties: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, 5.5% Petit Verdot.
