Tasting CharacteristicsDuluc de Branaire-Ducru 2017, the second wine of the esteemed Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé Château Branaire-Ducru, embodies the estate’s hallmark elegance and precision. Made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it showcases the finesse of Bordeaux’s Left Bank in a more approachable, youthful style. Refined yet expressive, it reflects both the estate’s pedigree and the freshness of the 2017 vintage.
Aromas and flavours:
Primary
Aroma/Nose: Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cherry interlace with violet, graphite, and subtle cedar from oak aging. Hints of spice, cocoa, and tobacco emerge as it opens.
Secondary
Palate/Taste: Medium-bodied and silky, with polished tannins and a core of ripe cassis, redcurrant, and blackberry. Layers of mocha, pencil shavings, and forest herbs add depth, balanced by bright acidity and mineral poise.
Tertiary
Finish: Long and graceful, leaving notes of dark fruit, spice, and fine oak lingering in elegant harmony.
GastronomyDuluc de Branaire-Ducru is a versatile Bordeaux that thrives alongside refined yet comforting dishes. Pair it with roast lamb seasoned with thyme and rosemary, duck breast with cherry glaze, or grilled entrecôte with peppercorn sauce. Its structure and freshness make it ideal with mushroom risotto or truffle pasta, while its balance complements aged Comté or mild blue cheeses. For a classic pairing, serve with beef Wellington or venison stew — the wine’s supple tannins and aromatic depth elevate rich, savory flavors with effortless sophistication. Decant for 30 minutes before serving to unlock its full bouquet.
