Ranking notes: La RVF 18/20, Robert Parker 95/100, Winespectator 92/100
"As usual, the 2005 Branaire-Ducru is one of the more distinctive wines of St.-Julien. Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux has turned out another classic. While not as opulent or fleshy as the 2003, and it remains to be seen if it will eclipse the 2000, the 2005 is a big, structured, intensely rich effort with raspberry, blueberry, and spring flower garden characteristics, stunning purity, full-bodied power, and good underlying acidity as well as harmony. The hard tannins suggest 8-9 years of cellaring will be beneficial, it should last for three decades. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+." - Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate

The producer

Château Branaire-Ducru

Château Branaire-Ducru is a Saint-Julien Appellation fourth growth in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Since Patrick Maroteaux took over in 1988, now assisted by his son François-Xavier, major efforts have been achieved in order to improvethe quality and regularity of the wines. Dominique Videau took over from Philippe Dhalluin as technical manager, and each plot is now vinified separately, and the wines are aged for 18 months in oak barrels. The Branaire-Ducru wine is particulartly supple, with a velvety texture.
