A caress of velvet in the mouth
Winemaker Guffens has recently freshened up his multi-vintage 'solera' with some Sauvignon
unworked and racy white whose crunchy freshness and juicy texture reflect its limestone soils more transparently than anything we have come to expect of white Bordeaux

St. Julien Branaire Ducru, 4ème G.C.C, 1855 2016 pirque A caress of velvet in64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot. Ruby rather than black, a breezy freshness supple and lithe and elegant. There's a rose petal freshness and delicacy, but no lack of drive and power of concentrated fruit under the pretty top notes. Quite intense and long. A very attractive wine which will probably be at an attractive price for this quality.
