We solve the Dirac\char21{}Bogoliubov\char21{}de Gennes equation in an impurity-free superconductor\char21{}normal-metal\char21{}superconductor junction, to determine the maximal supercurrent ${I}_{c}$ that can flow through an undoped strip of graphene with heavily doped superconducting electrodes. The result ${I}_{c}\ensuremath{\simeq}(W∕L)e{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}∕\ensuremath{\hbar}$ is determined by the superconducting gap ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$ and by the aspect ratio of the junction (length $L$ small relative to the width $W$ and to the superconducting coherence length). Moving away from the Dirac point of zero doping, we recover the usual ballistic result ${I}_{c}\ensuremath{\simeq}(W∕{\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{F})e{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}∕\ensuremath{\hbar}$, in which the Fermi wavelength ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{F}$ takes over from $L$. The product ${I}_{c}{R}_{\mathrm{N}}\ensuremath{\simeq}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}∕e$ of the critical current and normal-state resistance retains its universal value (up to a numerical prefactor) on approaching the Dirac point.
