Branaire Ducru - Saint-Julien 2011

Château Branaire Ducru, 4ème Grand Cru Classé est issu d'une division des terres du Château Beychevelle qui lui fait face : à la mort de son propriétaire le Duc d'épernon en 1661, le château est démembré pour permettre le paiement des dettes et ses biens sont remis à la couronne de France en 1666. Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, notaire royal à Bordeaux, rachète une partie du domaine en 1680. Ses descendants, la famille Duluc, font construire le Château actuel en 1824. En 1856, Louis Duluc meurt sans héritier et c'est son neveu Gustave Ducru qui prend la direction du domaine en 1857 et qui change le nom du domaine en château Branaire-Ducru. Au début du xxe siècle, le domaine passe aux mains de différentes familles. La sucrerie de Toury acquiert le domaine en 1988. 

En 1993, la sucrerie cède ses parts à son directeur Patrick Maroteaux, sa famille (actionnaires de la sucrerie) et l'autre co-actionnaire Bernard Soulas. Beaucoup d'efforts ont depuis été menés pour améliorer encore la qualité des millésimes avec une refonte totale des chais en 1992 (création de chais à écoulement vertical où l'utilisation des pompes et vis est proscrit), utilisation des méthodes de culture raisonnée. Fleuron méconnu du Médoc, ce vin de qualité exemplaire se distingue de son célèbre voisin, le Château Beychevelle, par son originalité : la dégustation révèle immanquablement, sous les fruits rouges et les tannins élégants, une pointe d'épices et un arôme chocolaté rares dans l'appellation.

An underrated wine that has shed its youthful austerity to offer terrific drinking today, the 2011 Branaire-Ducru exhibits aromas of sweet cassis, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and classy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. On release, it was far from apparent that this would emerge as a charming classic, but in a blind tasting, I mistook it for the estate's 2010.

Branaire does a great job with classic, elegant and well-balanced vintages, and here it really is delivering a delicious St-Julien. Plenty of depth to the fruit, alongside pencil lead aromatics. Traces of fig and spice that reflect the drought conditions of early in the year, but it has elegance and sapidity through the finish and is extremely classic. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.

Bright, deep ruby-red.  Sappy aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant and sweet spices are complicated by an intense note of violet.  Bright and juicy in the mouth, offering excellent volume for the vintage as well as noteworthy floral lift to the fresh dark currant and plum flavors.  The wine's sappy quality gives it good inner-mouth energy and early deliciousness, even if it lacks the structure of the best vintages.  On the other hand, by avoiding overextraction the lovely 2011 Branaire-Ducru offers plenty of early appeal. (89(+?) points)

A dense blue/ruby/purple color is followed by notes of raspberries, incense and spring flowers, supple tannins, medium body and excellent elegance as well as purity. The result is a suave, savory 2011. While it does not possess the size or richness of vintages such as 2009 and 2010, the 2011 has plenty of charm and appeal. Drink it over the next decade.

This is tight and structured, with blueberry and mineral character. Full and firm with excellent tannins for the vintage. Needs at least four years to soften but shows potential: try in 2018.

 Offers mouthfilling layers of plum sauce, blackberry compote and warm ganache, all lined with a charcoal note that adds texture and length. Delivers depth and polish on the finish, with the fruit echoing pleasantly. Best from 2016 through 2027.

Peppery, fresh dark fruit, cassis and cassis leaf. Chocolatey oak on the palate but still fresh and juicy.

Fruits noirs, bouche veloutée, tendre, tanins élégants, fin, précis, pas d'explosion aromatique mais une structure fine et bien travaillée. Net et précis. Branaire est une vin qui s'exprime avec le temps. O= 2018 G= 15 ans

Opaque deep purple-ruby. Penetrating, perfumed blackcurrant, mint and balsamic vinegar aromas are complicated by a candied violet note. Enters the mouth very fresh and smooth, then turns richer and fuller in the middle, with bright acids lifting the ripe, sweet black fruit flavors at the back. Finishes with building tannins and considerable freshness--not to mention sneaky concentration and excellent balance.

A top-notch effort from this estate, the 2011 exhibits an exotic perfume of lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, raspberry jam and red as well as black currants. Loads of fruit, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and velvety tannin suggest this beauty will drink well for 15+ years. It is one of the stars of the appellation in this vintage. Bravo!

Vin complet pour l'année, racé et complexe avec, dès la naissance une onctuosité de texture surprenante pour le cru qui, avec l'acquisition récente de vignes sur des terroirs superbes, a certainement gagé en autorité de style.

Couleur sombre et intense. Nez fruité de type mûr. Entrée en bouche moelleuse et soyeuse. Le vin se développe aromatique, juteux avec du goût et une bonne corpulence. Tanicité présente en finale, mais enveloppée. Bonne longueur savoureuse.

From an assemblage of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13.08% alcohol. Yields were about 10% lower in 2011 than what the estate produced in 2010. With mocha, black cherry, truffle, smoke and earthy aromas, this medium-bodied, soft-textured Branaire Ducru is dominated by cherries and finishes with a fresh, sweet chocolate and black raspberry finish. 91-93 Pts

The 2011 is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc that was picked between 14th and 29th September at just 37hl/ha. It has a straightforward bouquet of light fresh red berry fruit laced with orange rind and graphite, focused but not powerful. After five minutes there is a brine or fish scale note. The palate has a chalky entry with crisp acidity, just a little hardness in the mouth but the finish is softer. There are notes of blackberry, pain grille and graphite with a dry, crisp finish. Fine. Tasted April 2012

This is a full bodied wine with attractive aromatics of fresh blackberries and red plums. The flavours are supported by generous tannins and fresh acidity. Fairly long finish. A serious wine that will age well ?wait at least 5+ years before opening.

Drink 2017-2025 Deep black cherry colour. Perfumed with cassis, vanilla and spice with a slight green note. More dry and savoury on the palate but there's a cool freshness and balance that leaves the mouth fresh. (JH)

A very elegant style, with a violet frame to the supple red currant, blueberry and black cherry fruit flavors that mingle with high-toned spice on the finish. Offers fine-grained structure.—J.M.

This wine is based on tannins, yet it also has weight and a complex fruit structure. Its power lies in the density of its texture. —R.V

A very pretty red with flowers, blackberries, and blueberries. Full and silky with racy tannins and a long finish. Some hints of cocoa and pleasant bitterness. Well structured.

Noten von Flieder und roten Beeren; im Mund von superber Fruchtigkeit, herrliches, knackigfrisches Tannin, grosse aromatische Länge; hat vielleicht nicht ganz die herausragende Klasse des 2010, doch gehört dennoch mit zu den schönsten hier je produzierten Weinen und hat die 18 Punkte nut knapp verfehlt. 2020 bis 2036.
