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.
2018 is vibrant from the first nose thanks to its brilliant fruit. An aromatic explosion that mingles aromas of cherries with delicious notes of marzipan ... Minty notes of cedar and rose provide a burst of freshness. Carried by this ethereal balance, the wine then reveals its depth and density. It is full-blooded and full-bodied, yet always elegant. The palate is broad, the tannins refined and silky. It possesses the delectable tangy sweetness of a Bakewell tart. This 2018 shows all the power and grace of a prima ballerina, lost in her art.
"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

Made to the same rigorous standards as the First Wine, from grapes grown in the same vineyard, La Dame de Montrose is the estate’s second label.

The nose is already very present and powerful, with notes of ripe and fresh fruits such as burnt cherry and pomegranate. In mouth, the attack is ample with a beautiful intensity. A wine of a beautiful power while remaining very greedy and round. The fresh woody taste, well blended, expresses itself on notes of praline pastry. The finish is long and expresses all its potential with a lot of brightness.
An echo of the First Wine's character, Château Lynch Bages.
Like its big brother, Echo de Lynch-Bages displays the characteristic taste, aromas and length of Pauillac wines. As an echo of the first wine, it receives the same care and attention from the vine to the cellars. It is the result of a selection of Lynch-Bages' youngest vines and specific plots which represent between 25 to 40 % of the harvest depending on the vintage. Echo de Lynch-Bages, the second wine of the estate, displays savoury aromas of fresh red fruits. Round, mellow and seductive in its youth, its ability to age is outstanding.

We put the juice in only 6 barrels to process the alcoholic fermentation with stirring the lees. No malolactic fermentation. 3 barrels new and 3 barrels of one year. 50% oak and 50% acaccia. French from Allier forest. Ageing during 6 months in barrel and 24 months in bottle.
Château Nénin 2013 is a wine of great quality, distinguished by its beautiful garnet colour and its intense nose of fruity aromas.
"Deep garnet-purple colored, it reveals a very fruity nose of crushed blackberries, warm black cherries and mulberries plus hints of potpourri, spice cake and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, the decadent palate delivers loads of black berry layers and a firm, grainy frame with underlying freshness and an earthy finish. Wonderfully opulent D'Armailhac!" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Fifth Classified Growth in 1855.
The power and elegance of a great Pauillac.
Daring, innovative and with a reputation for often being the last to harvest, Jean-Charles Cazes defined the style of Lynch-Bages in the 1930's. The wine's distinctive character has earned it a place amongst Pauillac's greatest. It combines structure, finesse and elegance, offering generous aromas in its youth and developing deeper complexities with bottle age.
"The robe is of the densest black, profound and vibrant. The aromas are complex, fine and delicate, with redfruit scents and spicy, toasted nuances. The freshest of sensations on the palate, powerful and rich, with precise, juicy, concentrated tannins. The finish is long-lasting and fleshy, nicely defined, full and gourmand. It reveals the richness of the terroir of Château Pichon-Longueville allied with the plenitude of Cabernet Sauvignon. "
