2024 Branaire Ducru
Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!
Lovely bright plum colour, slim blue and black fruits, coffee bean and cedar oak notes, carefully constructed with balance, a little short on the finish compared to the excellent recent vintages at Branaire. 55% new oak. 41.5 hl/ha, this is the first vintage with the new cellars, François-Xavier Maroteaux owner and new president of the Union de Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
91/100 Jane Anson
(St Julien; 72% Cabernet Sauvignon; 22% Merlot; 3.5% Cabernet Franc; 2.5% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 41.5 hl/ha; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, the first time at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). Another great success from Branaire-Ducru – and it’s release price something of a no Bra(i)n-er (if you’ll excuse the pun). This is very spherical at the core with a dense, fully-charged mid palate. Brambles and damsons and dark plum and assorted stone fruits, a little hint of wild Italian herbs and crushed green peppercorns. There’s an interesting floral note too that I can’t quite pin down to a single descriptor – wisteria doesn’t quite capture it but is the closest I seem to get. Sapid and juicy, long and racy on the finish, with a note of dark chocolate appearing right at the end.
