Château de Braude

Haut-Médoc Bordeaux blends rooted in Left Bank structure and depth.

Château de Braude sits in Haut-Médoc, the heart of Bordeaux's Left Bank, where gravelly plateaux and clay-limestone soils shape wines of structure and depth. The estate works primarily with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the region's classical pairing, building wines that reflect the Médoc's signature balance of power and refinement. The flagship Haut-Médoc blends these two varieties into a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The L'Esprit de Braude Grande Réserve Haut-Médoc extends the range with the addition of Cabernet Franc, a traditional third voice in the Bordeaux lexicon. Both wines anchor the winery's output in the Haut-Médoc terroir—a place where Merlot's ripe fruit and textural generosity meet Cabernet's tannin architecture and aging potential.
