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.“ Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
