Château BRANAIRE-DUCRU 4ème grand cru classé 2016 bottle 75cl

bottle 75cl: 66,00 € incl. VATbottle 75cl

Since its purchase by Mr. Maroteaux, Branaire-Ducru has made rapid progress, as did the construction of the new winery, which allows it to work only by gravity, without a pump that could "chew" the wines. Branaire-Ducru is the leader of the appellation's 3-4ème crus classés (Lagrange, Talbot, Beychevelle, Saint-Pierre) and certainly the finest of them.

Rated 18,5 en 2016 by la Revue du Vin de France.

    Rated 95/100 by the Guide de La Revue du Vin de France 2024 "This is a very pretty classic, well designed and very refined. Straightforward and precise on the palate, supported by a fresh fruity base, with good length and style.A fine affair that will develop well, just like its predecessors, the fine 2019 and 2018, which are also highly recommendable."

    The 2014 vintage is rated 91/100 by N.Martin "The 2014 Branaire-Ducru has a 'calmer' bouquet than its peers, a little muted at first, but well defined with mainly black tertiary fruit mixed with tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. [...] This is one of the few Left Bank wines to do better today than it did six years ago" (February 2024)
