dicht gewoben intensiv und nachhaltig

extraprima 93-95 | Auf Branaire Ducru wurde vom 12.-24. September geerntet. Die Assemblage besteht aus 60,5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31,5% Merlot, 5,5% Cabernet Franc und 2,5% Petit Verdot mit 14,3% Alkohol.
Dunkle Farbe. Im Geruch zeigt der Branaire Ducru Bananenschalen mit stumpfer, süßer Intensität, jugendlich verschlossen. Satte, intensive Struktur im Mund, dicht gewoben, lang arrangiert, mit drahtigen Gerbstoffen, einem trockenen Verlauf, adstringent und stumpf zum Finale. Monolithische Gerbstoff-Präsenz. Leider nur einmal verkostet.

bester Branaire Ducru aller Zeiten

Parker 95-97 | A brilliant wine that's the finest young vintage I've tasted at this Saint-Julien estate, the 2022 Branaire-Ducru wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries, sweet cassis, licorice and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional palate that's succulent, sapid and perfumed, framed by supple tannins and concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. It's a blend of 60.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.5% Merlot, 5.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot that checks in at a healthy pH of 3.65. Why is it so good this year? In addition to the quality of the vintage, the new gravity-flow winery means fruit can be handled more gently, and picked more precisely, sub-block by sub-block, as the team now have fully 63 vats at their disposal, almost double their capacity through 2020. Given the Maroteaux family's sensible approach to pricing, this is likely to number among the must-purchase wines of the 2022 vintage, and it comes warmly recommended.

beeindrucknd feine intensive Tannine

Suckling 96-97 | The fine and intense tannins are very impressive because they fold beautifully into the wine, with blackcurrants, black cherries, hints of chocolate and hazelnuts. It's full-bodied with tight and focused fruit and a long and classy finish. Fantastic definition to this. Fresh. 60.5% cabernet sauvignon, 31.5% merlot, 5.5% cabernet franc, and 2.5% petit verdot.
