Over het wijnhuis | Château Branaire-Ducru is een 4e Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Julien. Het was ooit, inmiddels meer dan 300 jaar geleden, onderdeel van het enorme landgoed Beychevelle, maar toen de eigenaar stierf, liet hij een immense wijngaard met dito schulden achter. Het landgoed werd opgesplitst en zo ontstond Château Branaire-Ducru. |

Awards | "The 2021 Branaire-Ducru has realized all the potential it showed en primeur. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, menthol, violets and baking chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a velvety attack that segues into a deep, fleshy palate. This is especially impressive in the context of the vintage." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A very pretty wine, showing blackberry and blackcurrant aromas with crushed stone. Medium to full body with layers of fine-grained tannins. Bright and refined. Lots of dark fruit at the end. Solid weight." - James Suckling "66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, 5.5% Petit Verdot. Mid ruby. Bready summer-pudding fruit on the nose with a hint of pipe tobacco and iodine. Acid frames the fruit and keeps everything very compact and linear. There are herbal tones but this is not underripe. Chalky tannins persist on the finish – this will need a few years before approaching. (TP)" - Jancis Robinson "Open and explosive in its aromatics, the 2021 Branaire-Ducru is deep, layered and super-expressive, promising to evolve well for many years to come. The Cabernets are especially evident in the wine's remarkable savory character. Black cherry, lavender, graphite, and dried herbs lend considerable nuance. In 2021, Branaire-Ducru is not quite as charming as it often is at the outset, so readers should plan on being patient." - Vinous "Green peppercorns, menthol and sightly herbal aspects on the nose. Smooth and silky, a shot of bright high acidity with a balancing creamy touch to the texture. Tannins are barely there, but do give the frame which nicely carries the flavours. Really charming and fruity, great energy if not masses of weight and depth. Clean and precise fruit expression. A great effort in 2021." - Decanter |
