The colour is pale yellow. The bouquet has intense lime and tropical fruit aromas. The wine has good weight and texture in the mouth with fine acidity. The intense mid-palate leads to a dry, persistent clean finish. The style is weighty and complex with good minerality and a clean, long finish.
This wine is fruit-driven, subtly influenced by medium and light toast French oak. The oak is very supportive of the fruit and gives fullness and length to the palate. Complexity is achieved through barrel fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation, and lees stirring. The nose shows abundant stone fruit, sweet spices, and brioche. The palate is rich and full, with mouthwatering vibrancy and length.

Duluc is the second wine of the Château Branaire-Ducru, 4th Cru Classé since 1855, and was born in the 1990s.
The nose of this 2019 Duluc de Branaire-Ducru opens quickly with aeration. It delivers a beautiful black and red fruits complexity, enhanced by spicy notes and a lightly minty hint. The palate shows a nice roundness. Fleshy and soft it develops a precise and pure fruit aromatic. A very nice and lingering finish with delicate tanins and a beautiful fresh length.
This is a very complex wine which will reward cellaring. Primary characters are pineapple, peach, nectarine, grapefruit peel, and fig, layered with secondary savoury notes from yeast autolysis and a touch of hazelnut and cashew with elegant French oak overtones on the finish.
"Very rich dark berries and plums with an attractive and deep, fresh-fruit edge. The palate has a very smooth, fresh and sweetly fruited core with ripe, plush and approachable tannins. A blend of 81 per cent merlot, 13 per cent cabernet franc and six per cent petit verdot. Try from 2020." James Suckling

The colour is a bright pale straw. The nose is alluring and complex with aromas of grapefruit, lemon meringue and peach blossom.
