Château Branaire Ducru 2025 - Saint-Julien - 4. Cru Classé

Nyhed En primeur
Château Branaire Ducru 2025 - Saint-Julien - 4. Cru Classé
Beskrivelse

Branaire-Ducru er 4. Cru Classé i Saint-Julien, og et af de slotte hvor stilspørgsmålet er usædvanligt tydeligt. Patrick Maroteaux talte om vinene som noget, der skulle give glæde, og den linje føres videre af François-Xavier Maroteaux og Jean-Dominique Videau. Det handler ikke om at gøre Saint-Julien lettere, men om at holde strukturen civiliseret.

2025 er lavet på 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc og 6% Petit Verdot. Ifølge Leve blev der høstet fra 4. til 22. september, den tidligste afslutning på en høst i slottets historie, med et udbytte på 33 hl/ha. Castaing noterer 65% ny eg og beskriver vinen som poleret, balanceret og teksturelt raffineret, med lyshed og friskhed fra årgangen.

Suckling fremhæver mørk frugt, ceder, en anelse tjære, præcis struktur og fine-grained tanniner af høj kvalitet. Castaing ser et åbent, raffineret udtryk med cassis, morbær, krydderi, blomster og blyant, hvor den nye eg holder sig i baggrunden. Leve går længst i vurderingen og skriver, at 2025 klart konkurrerer som en af de bedste årgange, der er lavet på Branaire-Ducru, med et vindue fra 2029 til 2060.

Vi har en svaghed for Saint-Julien, når appellationen holder sin nerve. Branaire-Ducru 2025 ser ud til at ramme det punkt: klassisk struktur, moderne præcision og den drikbarhed, slottet selv har gjort til en del af sin identitet.

    Voluptuous dark fruit, cedar and a touch of tar on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with an expressive yet concentrated profile, a precise structure and fine-grained, high quality tannins. Chiseled and balanced.

  • The Wine Cellar

    Flowers, licorice, cherries, smoke, mocha, currants, cedar, and tobacco fill the aromatic profile. The palate is medium-bodied, energetic, soft, polished, and refined. There is good concentration. Texturally, the wine feels elegant on your palate. There is freshness, giving the wine a vibrancy, making it effortless to drink. The sweetness in the fruits, paired with spice, mocha, espresso, and crushed stones, tastes and feels great. The finish starts off strong and keeps on going. 2025 is clearly in competition as one of the best vintages ever produced at Branaire Ducru. The purity here truly makes an impression. You can enjoy this with pleasure quite early in its life and count on at least 20 more years of enjoyment. The wine blends 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV. The harvest took place September 4 - September 22, making this the earliest end to a harvest in the history of the estate. Yields 33 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2060.

  • Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Branaire-Ducru is a compelling wine in the making, revealing an open, refined bouquet of cassis, mulberries, spices, flowers and pencil lead, with its new oak largely remaining in the background. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s sapid and perfumed, built around a seamless, layered core of fruit framed by finely grained, velvety tannins and concluding with a long, fresh and precise finish. Matured in 65% new oak, this blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc captures the estate’s signature style—polished, balanced and texturally refined—while clearly reflecting the brightness and freshness of the vintage.

Château Branaire-Ducru

Den første ejer af Château Branaire-Ducru etablerede slottet ved at købe et stykke jord af Château Beychevelle, som på daværende tidspunkt var ejet af den franske konge. Slottet var ejet af Louise du Luc, da det i 1855 blev klassificeret som 4. Cru i den nye klassifikation af de bedste ejendomme på Médoc.

I dag hedder ejeren Patrick Maroteaux. Han købte slottet i 1988 af familien Tari fra Château Giscours i Margaux. Siden 1991 har man på slottet skabt vinen i den nye gæringskælder, hvor vinen finder vej gennem processen ved hjælp af tyngdekraften, altså helt uden brug af pumper. Dermed undgås iltning af mosten.

Den færdige vin lagres i omkring 18 måneder på egefade, hvoraf 60% fornys hvert år.
