Wer diesen Wein nicht ganz oben auf seiner Bestellliste stehen hat, und zwar in Großformaten, begeht einen eklatanten Fehler. Wir sprechen von 2023 CHATEAU BRANAIRE DUCRU. Alleine 5 Bewertungen bis 95 Punkte oder höher! Dieses Chateau nämlich ist derart unter Feuer, dass die Nachbarn bereits neidvoll, den Feuerlöscher in der Hand, über den Zaun sehen. Die Selektion im Jahrgang 2023 war derart strikt, dass es lediglich 53% in den Erstwein schafften und das ist spürbar. 13% Presswein schafften es in den Blend, was einerseits eine Aussage über die Qualität des Lesegutes gibt, zum anderen diesem St. Julien irre Zug und Druck verleiht. Zudem wurde der Wein im nagelneuen Keller ausgebaut, mit 63 kleinen Gärtanks, um jedes Lot separat vinifizieren zu können. Wir hatten zweimal die Möglichkeit zur Verkostung, einmal gemeinsam mit FRANCOIS XAVIER MAROTEAUX und können Ihnen nur dringend raten sich hier zu engagieren. Dieser Wein stach bei der großen Union de Grand Cru Verkostung in Nachbarschaft zu allen anderen St. Juliens heraus. 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, der Rest Cabernet Franc und Petit Verdot, dabei lediglich 13,1% Alkohol, das ist die Formel des diesjährigen Erfolges. Die Lese konnte dabei auf 3 Wochen ausgedehnt werden, nahezu jede Traube konnte mit perfekter Reife eingebracht werden. Das Ergebnis ist schwarzbeerig, dicht und druckvoll, dabei alles andere als dick oder voluminös. Graphit, Minze, florale Komponenten, dieser Wein hat einfach alles, um ihn sehr präzise zu zeichnen und zu proportionieren. Die einzige Frage, die Sie sich stellen müssen, wie viele Kisten!

Chateau Leoville Las Cases - Le Petit Lion 2025
Saint Julien
Jane Anson: Concentrated, a ton of sleek graphite, crayon, liqourice root, we are fully in the heart of Las Cases here, with its grip and slow climb through the palate, on the right side of austere, cocoa bean and cassis, a full mouth experience, push and pull, tension and grip. A fabulous 2nd wine, right up there with the best of the vintage. Michael Georges technical director. 30% new oak for ageing. Includes the vines for La Petite Marquise since the 2021 vintage."

Chateau Langoa Barton 2025
Saint Julien
Jeb Dunnuck: The 2025 Château Langoa Barton is based on 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, checking in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.55. Darker currants, smoky tobacco, graphite, and tons of violet and floral nuances all shine on the nose, and it has remarkable purity, full-bodied richness, a broad, layered mouthfeel, and ripe, polished tannins on the palate. The finish is a blockbuster. It's probably the greatest Langoa ever."

Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou - La Croix de Beaucaillou 2025
Saint Julien
Jane Anson: The gourmet edge is evident from the first moments, keeping the signature of this wine, expertly done, cocoa bean, liquorice, glass-staining brightness, fresh acidities, takes a beat for the full La Croix signature to come in but it is luscious and juicy, and will reward five to seven years ageing. 3.67 pH. Harvest September 2 to 23, 60% new oak. Last year in the former cellar, with the new winery receiving fruit for the first time in 2026 vintage."

Chateau Gruaud Larose - Sarget de Gruaud 2025
Saint Julien
Decanter: Such fragrant and explosive aromatics, full of violets and freshly picked flowers with really ripe blackcurrants. Such a vibrant colour in the glass too - a bright pink colour, really vivid. Succulent and so juicy with a lovely zing of cranberry acidity but backed by a cool blueberry, almost creamy and chalky texture. Amazing energy to this, really fleshy and lifted but at the same time there’s plenty of fruit and power. 3.69pH. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend."

Chateau Gruaud Larose 2025
Saint Julien
Jeb Dunnuck: Crème de cassis and black raspberry fruits intermixed with spring flowers, graphite, tobacco leaf, and spicy wood all emerge from the 2025 Château Gruaud Larose, a deep purple-hued Saint-Julien based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc that's resting in 80% new French oak. This beauty stopped me in my tracks with its sheer class and purity. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a layered, graceful mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish, all grounded by a remarkable sense of balance and elegance. It checks in at 13.47% alcohol with a pH of 3.71. This is a heavenly Saint-Julien that brings the richness of the vintage alongside an unmistakable sense of class. Bravo!"

Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2025
Saint Julien
The Wine Cellar Insider: 5 Spice, roses, irises, and white flowers are only part of the aromatic display. You also enjoy licorice, espresso, smoke, tobacco, blackberries, and black cherries. However, the palate owns the show with its display of sensuous, silky, refined black and red fruits, Asian spices, chocolate, herbs, and mint leaf. The expansive finish combines power with elegance. Everything is in balance, providing a lingering, seamless endnote that allows you to experience the purity and wealth of fruit, which lingers for over 60 seconds. Produced from blending 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 21% Merlot, 13.44% ABV, 3.74 pH. Picking took place from September 2 -- September 23. 2025 marks the earliest and the longest harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were 22 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2032-2070."

Clos du Marquis 2025
Saint Julien
Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife dunkle Beerenfrucht, schwarze Herzkirschen, feiner Gewürztouch, ein Hauch von Nougat. Komplex, saftig, rotbeerige Nuancen, lebendig strukturiert, reife Tannine, salzige Mineralität, bleibt gut haften, Kirschen und Cassis im Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

Chateau Branaire Ducru 2025
Saint Julien
James Suckling: Voluptuous dark fruit, cedar and a touch of tar on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with an expressive yet concentrated profile, a precise structure and fine-grained, high quality tannins. Chiseled and balanced."

Chateau Lagrange 2025
Saint Julien
Jeb Dunnuck: Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Lagrange offers up ripe blue and black fruits, spicy wood, smoky tobacco, violets, and graphite on the nose. Based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot that will spend 21 months in 50% new French oak, it checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.5. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, velvety and integrated tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's another brilliant wine from this château, which has been making absolutely world-class wines for some time now without the recognition they deserve."

Chateau Gloria 2025
Saint Julien
James Suckling: A solid red, structured and textured, showing cherries and baking spices on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with sinewy tannins. Crunchy at the center, with a flavorful, vivid and persistent finish."
