18 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Herrliches Veilchenbouquet mit blauen Früchten unterlegt, schöner Zeder- und Vanillehauch, elegant und relativ schlank im ersten Ansatz. Saftiger Gaumen, fast tänzerisch auf der noch etwas pikanten Zunge rote Pflaumenschalen zeigend, wirkt ingesamt eher leichtgewichtig und braucht noch Unterstützung von dem Barriquen um etwas mehr "Body" zu erlangen. Patrick Marroteau sucht in seinen Weinen Frische, Frucht und Eleganz. Hier sind die drei vorhanden. Mag vielleicht leicht erscheinen und das wird im Vergleich zu den anderen St-Julien-Boliden der Fall sein. Er muss sich aber die 18/20 noch verdienen.<br/><br/>warten (2017 - 2035)

94 Robert Parker
The 2009 Branaire-Ducru has a medium to deep garnet color and reveals compelling notions of warm cassis, licorice, baked plums and hoisin with hints of sautéed herbs and pencil lead. Youthful and medium to full-bodied, it has a generous core of black fruits with a firm and grainy structure and bags of freshness, finishing long with great purity.
94 James Suckling
Lots of black fruits with some bitter chocolate character give this plenty of appeal. However, it’s a seriously tannic wine that still needs time to fully resolve. Drink now with hearty food or hold. Wait until 2022. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)
93 Wine Spectator
A ripe, chewy, muscular style, with good cut despite the hefty tar, blackberry, roasted fig and singed apple wood notes. The long, anise-stained finish lets the tarry edge play out, though this shows a touch more finesse than some of its colleagues. Best from 2015 through 2025. 12,000 cases made. –JM

Château Branaire Ducru
Found just along the Gironde estuary, Branaire-Ducru is home to some of the greatest soils in the region for winegrowing – gravel. In 1680, Jean-Bapiste Braneyre was the first to discover the incredible potential of this property. The 1855 classification later confirmed the quality of the terroir. Branaire-Ducru and its prestigious neighbors then formed a group of châteaux that are now famous worldwide for their excellent wines. Here, quality is an absolute priority and Branaire-Ducru does everything possible to express the terroir’s intrinsic personality and complexity. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines express their character year in and year out with great regularity, displaying an enormous amount of fruit, freshness, and subtlety. The winemaking team is fully devoted to highlighting these characteristics in every vintage, and Branaire-Ducru is invariably an elegant wine and a quintessential Saint-Julien.
