2023 Château Branaire-Ducru, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 30% Merlot; 5.5% Cabernet Franc; 3.5% Petit Verdot.

François-Xavier Maroteaux and Jean-Dominique Videau are enjoying the new winery here. More small vats mean smaller plots no longer mix in larger tanks – better expressing the 15 different soil types. François-Xavier reported a little drought stress in some Merlot plots which were not used in the grand vin. Their best plots, on clay, were unaffected. The final blend is almost identical to 2022 and always elegant, but there is some more obvious detail in the 2023. Violet and peony notes mingle with subtle graphite and cedar welcoming a long, creamy finish.

Drink 2029 - 2050

Our score: 17.5/20

About this wine

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
