Branaire Ducru - A Vertical Tasting with François-Xavier Maroteaux

I am excited to say we have managed to persuade François-Xavier Maroteaux, the owner of Château Branaire Ducru, to present a vertical selection of his wines at our offices in London on Wednesday 7th October 2026.

Branaire is one of my absolute favourite fourth growths and is consistently one of Bordeaux's best value wines, often achieving a level of quality far above its classification.

François-Xavier has been running the estate for nearly a decade and in that short time has already overseen some of the greatest vintages in the château's history.  He will be talking us through a superb selection of vintages stretching back to the beginning of the century.

Tickets are £ 120 each, or £ 200 for a pair.  Places are highly limited, so please secure yours as soon as possible if you would like to come.

All the best,
Ed
