This wine shows a distinctive house style. Part of the vineyard and the young vines are used to make the Duluc de Branaire-Ducru. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and is made with the same spirit and careful attention to detail as the Branaire-Ducru. The DuLuc has an expressive nose with aromas of ripe red fruit with a floral and light toast touch. An elegant structure and smooth mouthfeel. On the bouquet a nice complexity with lots of red fruit and a remarkable freshness. A very accessible wine with a nice pure aftertaste.

The Saint-Julien is one of the most famous red wines of the growing region of Bordeaux. The area of controlled Appellation contains wines from the commune of Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Medoc and covers an area of 3.5 to 4 km. It is located about 10 km north of Margaux on the Gironde, and borders directly on Pauillac to the north.

According to James Suckling (97/10): "....Perhaps the greatest Branaire-Ducru ever made."
