Avis d'expert

85 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(Ed 1998)
The 1985 is a spicy, plummy, tasty wine with undeniable appeal because of precocious fruitiness. Once past all the up-front charm and make-up, there is not much depth or tannin.

89 / 100

Wine Spectator

(06-1988)
Lively and vibrant on the palate, showing currant, cherry and herbal flavors in an elegant package of moderate tannins and firm acidity. Fruit flavors last a long time on the finish.

Château informations

Branaire Ducru

Banaire Ducru is on a parcel of 50 hectares located on the gravel soil of Beychevelle, Chateau Ducru-Branaire is now a landmark in St. Julien. The cru is prized for its pure red fruit. Its typical composition of Cabernet Sauvignon in the majority, and Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, opens with bright aromas of raspberry and blackberry, before becoming more complex on the palate with delicate nuances of mineral, pencil lead, smoke and spring flowers. This wine of exemplary quality differs from its famous neighbor by its originality: tasting reveals inevitably, under the red fruit and elegant tannins, a touch of spice and chocolate aroma rare in this appellation.
