Duluc de Branaire Ducru, 75cl

Intense and deep in colour, this Duluc de Branaire full-bodied red combines spices and fruits on the nose. Beautifully mature with an underlying freshness, there is a subtle roundness and acidity on the palette that pairs wonderfully with lamb.

Duluc de Branaire is the second label of Château Branaire Ducru, 4th Grand Cru Classé, with younger, twenty-year-old vines being harvested to produce a wine that is more approachable than the grand vin. The Château itself is located on the southern border of the Saint Julien appellation, across from Château Beychevelle, but the vineyards – covering fifty hectares – are spread throughout St Julien.
