Branaire Ducru布蘭內杜庫堡 四級酒莊
特色

波爾多St-Julien產區Chateau Branaire Ducru的歷史可以回溯到17世紀後半,在當時它是屬於廣大的Château Beychevelle (四級酒莊)的一部分,在1680年賣給了一位貴族Jean-Baptiste Braneyre,他的家族後代將這個莊園逐漸發展成聲譽卓越的酒莊,並且在1855年的頂級酒莊分級中,榮獲了四級酒莊的高度評價。

Branaire Ducru的葡萄園主要位於St-Julien產區南邊Gironde河邊地帶的優異位置,總計有60公頃,土壤是礫石混合黏土,種植的葡萄是65 % Cabernet Sauvignon,以及28% Merlot、4% Petit Verdot和3 % Cabernet Franc,平均樹齡35年;發酵完成的酒在橡木桶中培養大約18個月(60 % 新桶)。平均年產量大約是15000箱。Branaire Ducru是優雅風格的典型St-Julien紅酒。

現在本酒莊當家的是François Xavier Maroteaux。1988年他的父親Patrick Maroteaux購得本莊園,並且大舉投資更新釀造設備,大幅提升了酒莊的水準;2017年Patrick過世,由兒子François接任。在Maroteaux家族的努力下,Branaire Ducru在專家們心目中,2000年份開始可以名列St-Julien產區表現的最好酒莊之一。本酒莊產品表現相當不凡而且很穩定,更重要的是價格都維持在很平實的水準,是識貨的行家們在St-Julien頂級紅酒裡的超值選擇。

WA:2006 - 2026
Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux, president of Unions des Grands Crus Classes, is pulling out all the stops to make Branaire as alluring as several of the Leovilles and Ducru Beaucaillou. 2003 and 2004 may be the finest back-to-back vintages ever produced at Branaire. Even better than the 1982, the profound 2003 Branaire Ducru boasts a saturated plum/purple color as well as an extraordinarily complex nose of black currants, blackberries, espresso roast, white chocolate, minerals, and truffles. It displays amazing freshness and definition for such a complex, complete, and full-bodied wine. A brilliant effort in the vintage, it will undoubtedly close down in several years and need more time, but perhaps its low acidity and huge, extravagant fruit-forwardness will keep it drinking well over the next two decades. A brilliant wine!
