The Château Branaire-Ducru 2022 displays a deep, dark ruby red color with violet hues, reflecting its youthful concentration. On the nose it reveals a complex and expressive bouquet of ripe black fruits such as cassis, blackberries and dark cherries, underscored by subtle hints of tobacco, herbal spice, menthol and mineral notes. On the palate this Saint-Julien shows an impressive balance of substantial body, velvety yet structured tannins, and fresh, precise fruit expression. The rich fruit core is complemented by elegant spice, fine minerality, and a long, flavorful saline finish. The wine’s length and aromatic persistence underscore its exceptional pedigree and aging potential, with complexity developing further over time in the bottle.
