[Chateau Branaire Ducru 2013]
James Suckling rating: 92/100
Chateau Branaire Ducru is one of the first wineries in the Bordeaux region to use gravity handling methods, avoiding the use of pumps and excessive new oak barrels. The fruit from each plot is vinified separately to ensure that each barrel of wine is produced under the most ideal conditions.Since 2000, the quality of Château Branaire-Ducru's red wine has been improving, but the price has remained moderate, making it one of the most affordable among the Bordeaux classified growths.Chateau Branaire-Ducru has a rich and expressive aroma of ripe yet fresh fruits. This wine from Saint Julien develops into a dense, complex, and perfectly balanced wine with excellent acidity.
"Juicy young wine with flavors of berries, cherries, and currants." The body is medium to full, the tannins are perfect, and the finish is juicy. Pure and delicious. Well done."
