Punteggi dei critici
95 Robert Parker
The 2019 Branaire-Ducru unwinds in the glass with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, sweet soil tones and hints of cigar wrapper, rose petals and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's youthfully tightly wound, with terrific concentration, tangy acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. While this is a little reserved out of the gates, its energy and classical proportions will richly reward bottle age.

Very clear fruit character of blackcurrants, orange peel and spices. Some walnut, too. It’s full-bodied with integrated, polished tannins and shows finesse and focus. Love the focused fruit at the end of this. Strength with finesse. Give it four to five years of bottle age. Try after 2024.

The 2019 Branaire-Ducru is one that I was eager to re-taste in bottle. Deep in color, it has a very well-defined nose of tightly packed dark berries, the tobacco element less obvious than before, and slightly more floral, with light sous-bois notes developing with aeration. The 60% new oak is neatly integrated. The palate shows real vivacity and tension on the entry and delivers crunchy black fruit, touches of blue fruit and a little iodine. Sappy from start to finish, this has a real saline tang that urges you back for another sip. There is definitely is more substance compared to previous vintages, and I wager that this represents the best Branaire-Ducru in recent years. 13.7% alcohol

Leads with vivid violet and cassis, while dark plum, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes follow quickly. Racy, structured and well-built, with graphite and apple wood driving through the finish. Very pure and aromatic, featuring a nice sanguine echo that lingers at the very end. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2038. 13,000 cases made, 1,950 cases imported. — JM

Château Branaire Ducru
Situato sull’estuario del fiume Gironda, Branaire-Ducru si trova su uno dei terreni ghiaiosi più spettacolari della regione per la coltivazione dell’uva. Nel 1680, Jean-Bapiste Braneyre fu il primo a scoprire l’incredibile potenziale di questa proprietà e la classificazione del 1855 fu la riconferma della qualità di questo terroir. Branaire-Ducru forma, insieme ai prestigiosi château confinanti, un gruppo famoso in tutto il mondo per l’eccellenza dei propri vini. Qui, la qualità è la priorità assoluta e Branaire-Ducru fa tutto il possibile per mettere in risalto la personalità e la complessità intrinseca di questo terroir. Impiantato principalmente a Cabernet Sauvignon, esprime tutto il suo carattere anno dopo anno, con grande regolarità, grazie alla notevole freschezza, alla delicatezza e alle note fruttate. L’attenta vinificazione è concentrata su come evidenziare queste caratteristiche in ogni annata e Branaire-Ducru è sempre un vino elegante e la quintessenza di Saint-Julien.
