Château Branaire-Ducru – Saint-Julien 2021 (75 cl) is a classic and elegant Bordeaux from Château Branaire-Ducru, focusing on finesse and freshness.

Primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the wine offers aromatic notes of blackcurrant, cherry, and blackberry, accompanied by cedar, graphite, and fine spices.

On the palate, it appears medium-bodied and well-balanced with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and an elegant, juicy fruit profile. The finish is harmonious and persistent with a classic Saint-Julien character.

The 2021 vintage is cooler and more classic in style, resulting in a wine that is enjoyable to drink now while also having potential for further development.

94 /100

The 2021 Branaire-Ducru has realized all the potential it showed en primeur. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, menthol, violets and baking chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a velvety attack that segues into a deep, fleshy palate. This is especially impressive in the context of the vintage. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Robert Parker wine advocate

92 /100

Bright, a little slim though the mid palate, but carefully expressed and finessed with appellation character, very much savoury Cabernet rose petals and cassis bud, with pencil lead and crayon character on the finish. 32hl/ yield, 50% new oak. Tasted twice.

Jane Anson

91 /100

Dark ruby garnet color with purple reflections, subtle ocher rim. Fresh plums, dark cherries, delicate notes of tobacco, candied orange zest, some milk chocolate. Medium complexity, some nougat, cherries, ripe tannins, mineral and persistent, only medium length at the moment, dries out a little

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.
