Château Branaire-Ducru – Saint-Julien 2022 (75 cl) is an intense and harmonious Bordeaux from Château Branaire-Ducru, showcasing the best of the warm and generous 2022 vintage.

The wine is primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, opening with deep aromas of sun-ripened dark berries such as blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry, accompanied by notes of cedar, graphite, and fine spices.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated with a dense fruit core, silky tannins, and a beautiful freshness that balances the rich style. The finish is long, complex, and persistent with classic Saint-Julien character.

The 2022 vintage combines power and elegance and has great aging potential, but can also be enjoyed young after decanting.

96 /100

The 2022 Branaire-Ducru has turned out just as brilliantly as I had hoped. Offering up a deep bouquet of crème de cassis and blackberries mingled with pencil shavings, burning embers and cigar box, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and unctuous, with a rich core of fruit, lively acids and sweet structuring tannins. Iterated and complete, it concludes with a long, broad finish. This blend of 60.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.5% Merlot, 5.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot is worth a special effort to seek out. Drink Date: 2027 - 2055

96 /100

As ever an understated classified wine, not pushing too far even among the exuberance of 2022, instead delivering fragrant, peony-laced cassis fruits laced with slate and graphite. An exceptional example of this property. Owner François-Xavier Maroteaux.

95 /100

A dark ruby red, with an opaque core, purple hues, a light ochre rim. Black forest berry confit, tobacco undertones, ripe blackberries, some nougat and fresh herbs. Juicy, elegant and fresh, ripe cherries, silky tannins, a mineral-salty finish, a hint of nougat in the aftertaste, well developed, versatile. (25/1, +40, PM).

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
