Die Bordeaux Subskription 2019 - Primeurs 2019
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2019 Saint Julien im Juni 2020:Dark-berry and blue-fruit character to the firm. chewy tannins that are polished and solid. Medium to full body. Wood and walnut undertones now. Impressive.
Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2019 Saint Julien im Mai 2020:The 2019 Branaire -Ducru is one instance where I felt that the first two bottles via the UGC shipment were not quite correct. so I requested two more direct from the château. They were different. It has plenty of dark berry fruit on the nose mixed with smoke. tobacco and undergrowth scents - just classic Saint-Julien. The palate is medium-bodied with a tangy saline entry. fresh and defined by the crisp tannins. Whereas the first samples lacked a bit of cohesion. this is more focused and detailed with a seriously impressive classically styled. graphite tinged finish. Result? Best Branaire I've tasted in barrel. Kudos to François-Xavier Maroteau and his team.
