Dense ruby color with garnet-red shades. Expressive nose of black cherries with notes of barrel ageing; vanilla, spices. Rich and voluminous on the palate with a beautiful power and aromas of ripe cherries and redcurrant jam, finishing with polished tannins and a remarkable intensity.
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.
Very expressive nose of morello cherry and brown tobacco, with sweet notes of liquorice candy and peony. A complex palate, expressing violet and fresh blackcurrant, nishing with hints of thyme and a touch of bitter orange zest that gives the nish a gourmet taste. It is a sensual and charming, yet restrained Saint-Estephe. Silky, smooth tannins give this Pez 2018 a precise and rened 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.
A ruby red robe with translucent glints for this wine that opens up onto a lovely bouquet surprising in its youthfulness; with red fruit, spice and garrigue (Provençal heath) notes. After a mouth-filling attack, the cherry and white pepper flavours open and lengthen out onto a refined liquorice feel. The palate is full and shows elegance that is further demonstrated by the ripe tannins at the end.
"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

A complex blend of spice, dried flowers and underbrush aromas, and a sensation of exotic spices. Excellent concentration of sweet, fine tannins that envelope the palate without harshness. The length and persistence of flavour typical of a great wine.
The style of Clos Beauregard is marked by the succulence and roundness of the Merlot grape. The mouth is persistent with aromas of bilberry jam and vanilla, while the end note is delightfully balanced and elegant and suggests good ageing potential. This is a cru full of body and charm.

Discreet and elegant nose which opens up with airing to reveal succulent aromas of brandied morello cherries mingled with peppery, minty notes. From a substantial and powerful attack, the mid-palate reveals a close-knit, creamy texture set off by well-integrated, structured tannins. The succulence hinted at on the nose is expressed in black fruit and mocha notes, leading into an opulent finish which underlines the wine’s complexity.
