Chateau Branaire Ducru 2022
Robert Parker Rating: 94/100

Château Palmer is the first-class wine of Cathay Pacific Airlines. Its Chinese name comes from a Chinese naming contest held by the airline in 2006. It is a historic winery. It is located in the Saint Julien area of Medoc, covering an area of 50 hectares. Each year, 75% of new oak barrels are used for fermenting grapes, which is very rare among non-first growth estates. With craftsmanship and management on par with first growths, many of the wines produced by Branaire-Ducru often exhibit quality that surpasses their classification.

This vintage presents a beautifully deep colour, hinting at its richness. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet where luscious black fruit aromas intertwine with elegant spicy nuances from the ageing process. The palate opens with a full, supple, and vivacious attack, unfolding into a rich and profound mid-palate. The finish is long and graceful, showcasing a delightful aromatic palette that lingers with finesse
