About this product
Duluc de Branaire is the second label of Château Branaire Ducru, 4th Grand Cru Classé, with younger, twenty-year-old vines being harvested to produce a wine that is more approachable than the grand vin. The Château itself is located on the southern border of the Saint Julien appellation, across from Château Beychevelle, but the vineyards – covering fifty hectares – are spread throughout St Julien.
Medium red wines can be called “food wines.” They offer up tons of flavor with a balance of zesty acidity which makes them match with a wide variety of foods (from zesty salads to rich and cheesy lasagna). These are the perfect mid-week wines for red wine lovers.
There are many varieties that span the mid-weight red wine category so, to name a few familiar ones, check out Grenache, Sangiovese, Merlot, Zinfandel, Montepulciano, Cabernet Franc and Barbera.
