"The best vintage of this wine since 2009!" - James Suckling

Saint Juliens suverænt største smart buy. Et samlerobjekt fra en af alle tiders bedste årgange, 2016. Vi sætter vores få trækasser på tilbud nu!

Slottet udgjorde en del af Château Beychevelle, indtil ejeren døde og efterlod sig så meget gæld, at noget af Beychevelle måtte sælges fra. Branaire-Ducru har navn efter to tidligere ejere, Jean-Baptiste Braneyre og Gustave Ducru.

Siden 1988 har familien Maroteaux givet 4. Cru Branaire-Ducru en tiltrængt renæssance. Succesen skyldes ﬂere tiltag. Både vinmarker og vinkældre er revitaliseret. Høstudbyttet holdes nede ved grøn høst samt dyrkning af græs/ukrudt mellem rækkerne.

Lanceringen af andenvinen Duluc de Branaire-Ducru, som laves på druer fra yngre vinstokke, har indirekte løftet ”Le Grand Vin” - som med op til 97 pt hos anmeldere i dag regnes blandt de bedste Médoc-køb overhovedet.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Wine Spectator

The core of this red is loaded with pure plum, blueberry and black currant fruit flavors. The polished structure is integrated, with alluring ganache, anise and sweet tobacco notes throughout, all in a polished and balanced frame. A very classy red that isn't shy about its power but pushes its purity to the fore.

A gorgeous, sumptuous Branaire Ducru with layers of black[1]berries, plums and cedar. The flavors are lifted by fresh acidity and firm, ripe, suave tannins. Long finish. A wonderful vintage for Branaire Ducru!

The best vintage of this wine since 2009! Effusive, fresh redcurrant and cassis aromas give this St.-Julien terrific drive and energy, the elegant, dry tannins beautifully married to the medium body, right through the long, agile finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast

...a wine that is both structured and stylish. This bold, ripe wine shows opulent black fruits and generous tannins. Juicy and structured, it has good aging potential.

The 2016 Branaire-Ducru is a real classic, and in the fullness of time, it will likely rival or even surpass the more charming, demonstrative 2019. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of dark berries, cassis, loamy soil, pencil shavings and cigar smoke, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a taut, structured profile and a long, penetrating finish. The only missing ingredient here is time.
