Avis d'expert

87 / 100

Jean-Marc Quarin

(9-1999) The color is light but still quite red despite some traces of evolution. The nose is simple, a little earthy. The agitation shows an imperfectly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of leaves and tea. The mouth offers a more pleasant character where the approach is melted, lovable, straight structure. However, decantation is very flattering. The wine is getting purer. It does not offer a great material but its melted style gives it the advantage of an early tasting. Slender style with a nice aroma on the finish.

85 / 100

Wine Spectator

(01-1996) Attractive berry, wet earth aromas and flavors, medium body, medium silky tannins and fresh finish.

Branaire Ducru

Château Branaire Ducru is a fourth classified grand cru (classification of 1855) of the Saint-Julien appellation in Médoc. The vineyard extends over nearly 60 hectares of vines. Château Branaire-Ducru is today one of the jewels of Saint Julien. This Grand Cru Classé is sought after for its very pure red fruit. Its typical composition of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, opens with dazzling aromas of raspberry and blackberry, before becoming more complex on the palate with delicate nuances of mineral, pencil lead, smoke and flowers. of spring… This exemplary quality wine stands out from its famous neighbor by its originality: the tasting inevitably reveals, under the red fruits and elegant tannins, a hint of spices and a chocolate aroma rare in the appellation.

The Château also produces a second wine: Duluc de Branaire Ducru. For these two wines, Château Branaire Ducru vinifies with a blend: Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The best vintages of Château Branaire Ducru are 1975, 1982, 1989, the 1995 vintage and the 1996 vintage. The wines of 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 are also exceptional. Finally, the great vintages of 2009, vintage 2010 and the 2015 vintage are great vintages.
