Château Branaire-Ducru

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

Finesse, Eleganz, Harmonie sind die drei Stichworte, die wir bei der Verkostung des Branaire Ducru aufgeschrieben haben. Schöne Frucht dunkler Beeren, etwas Kakao und Kräuter im feinen, mineralischen Abgang. Sehr gute Saint-Julien, der schon recht früh höchstes Trinkvergnügen verspricht. (92-93 Punkte) Wine Spectator: 90-93/100 Punkte 'The plum and cherry paste flavors show good energy, with floral lift and sleek graphite accents adding to the sense of range and definition. Well done.' James Suckling: 91/100 Punkte 'This is very tight and focused with a precise depth of blackberry and blueberry fruit. Full body, melted tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Shows a compacted style.' Wine Enthusiast: 91-93/100 Punkte 'Barrel Sample. Crisp fruit and intense acidity are the hallmarks of this bright wine. Its tannins are a backdrop to the nervy fruit character and vein of minerality and refreshing acidity. Drink from 2023.' Vinous (Neal Martin): 91-93/100 Punkte 'The 2017 Branaire Ducru was picked 13 September until 4 October over a three-week period, cropped at 39.6hl/ha. The alcohol here is 13.2°. The wine is aged in 60% new oak, which is how the sample was made. It has a harmonious bouquet with brambly black fruit, melted tar and tobacco scents, not powerful but precise. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, fine tannin, just a subtle savory note developing and merging nicely with the black fruit, hints of white pepper and cedar towards the poised finish that is quintessential Saint-Julien. There is an essence of drinkability about this Branaire-Ducru and I can imagine this being approachable after three to four years. This is a very fine Branaire-Ducru.Trinkreife: 2021-2040 ' Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 88-90/100 Punkte 'The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Branaire-Ducru gives up notes of baked black berries, red cherries and mulberries with touches of potpourri and smoked meats. Medium-bodied with a lively line lifting the good concentration of red and black fruits, it has a chewy frame and grippy finish.'
