2013 Duluc de Branaire-Ducru

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Saint-Julien 4. Cru Rouge

Duluc de Branaire-Ducru is one of the biggest Bordeaux Second Wines!

The second label of Château Branaire-Ducru 4th Grand Cru Classé was previously named Château Duluc.
 
Vintage 2013 Duluc de Branaire-Ducru shows an open nose that is beautifully precise. Red fruit is elegantly married with some slightly spicy notes. In the mouth the wine is supple, pure and balanced with a pleasant vivacity.
 
Blend:
67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. 

The Branaire-Ducru style applies to all vintages, artfully and patiently crafted by enthusiastic winegrowers, who have no doubt about the importance of their legacy and respect for the terroir.
The Branaire-Ducru style is first and foremost a "House Signature". The three key ingredients are fruit, freshness and elegance. They define the core, the guiding framework that can be found in all the Château’s wines. As soon as he had bought the property, Patrick Maroteaux said he wanted to produce wines characteristic of Saint-Julien with a uniqueness that would distinguish them as one of the greatest.
