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.

Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, au fruité frais. Délicat en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec du goût, du corps et un toucher moelleux, même si la saveur est un brin vive, le vin fond au palais sur des tannins enrobés et même aromatiques.

Floral-studded nose along with cassis fruits, this is an enjoyable Branaire Ducru that is easy to recommend. Lighter-framed than some in the appellation with its characteristic fine tannins making this a medium-term drinker within the St Julien context. Plenty of juice running through the palate, enjoyable baked earth and menthol notes and a kick of salinity on the finish.

Kräuteriges Bouquet, Minze, Johannisbeeren, Bitterschokolade. Gute Dichte, saftig, jugendtiches Tannin, stützende Säure,viel Brombeeren, Himbeeren, Kräuter, zart rote Johannisbeeren im Finish, gute Länge.

Voici probablement l'une des meilleures affaires du millésime. Le cru propose un 2019 absolument délicieux parsemé de notes juteuses de fruits rouges et doté d'un grain de tanin particulièrement fin. Un des meilleurs Branaire dégustés en primeur.

Very clear fruit character of blackcurrants, orange peel and spices. Some walnut, too. It’s full-bodied with integrated, polished tannins and shows finesse and focus. Love the focused fruit at the end of this. Strength with finesse. Give it four to five years of bottle age. Try after 2024.

Leads with vivid violet and cassis, while dark plum, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes follow quickly. Racy, structured and well-built, with graphite and apple wood driving through the finish. Very pure and aromatic, featuring a nice sanguine echo that lingers at the very end. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2038.

In Branaire hat man einen Sinn für Details und Finesse! In dieser Logik ist das Bouquet filigran, subtil und präzise. Am Gaumen ändert sich das Bild ein wenig; der Sinn für Details ist zwar ebenfalls gut vertreten, aber die Kraft, die durch die straffen und präzisen Tannine vermittelt wird, kann einen nicht gleichgültig lassen! Zusammen mit der Genauigkeit unterstreicht dies die Fähigkeit von Branaire-Ducru, subtile imposante Weine zu schaffen

The 2019 Branaire-Ducru unwinds in the glass with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, sweet soil tones and hints of cigar wrapper, rose petals and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's youthfully tightly wound, with terrific concentration, tangy acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. While this is a little reserved out of the gates, its energy and classical proportions will richly reward bottle age.
