Rather closed on the nose, the black fruit actually flows through on the palate with a nicely tempered feel, quite generous, layered and fairly lush with more length than some. The fruit character is a bit subdued at the moment but has potential – the purity and framing is there. Not as great as the ripe recent vintages, but a nice, worthwhile effort.

Descendents of the Branaire family held onto the estate despite the turmoil and changes of the French Revolution until 1919 when the estate was sold to the Tapie family who in turn sold it to Patrick Maroteaux in 1988. His son, François Xavier, now holds the reigns with the able assistance of manager Jean-Dominique Videau. Good for medium-term ageing.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
