Duluc de Branaire-Ducru 2018 is the second wine of Château Branaire-Ducru, A cornerstone of Saint-Julien that crafts wines of depth and complexity.
It is enjoyable in its youth, offering a well-rounded and accessible expression of Saint-Julien. However, it will continue to develop and integrate over the next several years. Medium to full-bodied with a well-structured profile, the Duluc is ideal together with grilled beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, or aged Cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
What the critics say:
"Gentle blackcurrant perfume on the nose, sweet and soft with a touch of medicinal herbs. Juicy and supple with lots of freshness and a nice bouncy palate but also density in the tannins which are slightly robust still. Excellent structure though, mouthfilling and so approachable with expansive and well defined black and bramble fruit alongside a depth of minty spice, liquorice, anise and clove. Very good typicity, easy to drink and enjoy, still on the youthful side."
