【Duluc de Branaire Ducru 6 Bottle Set (2017 & 2019 & 2021 vintages, 2 bottles each）】

Chateau Branaire Ducru is the first-class wine of Cathay Pacific, and its Chinese name comes from a Chinese naming contest held by the airline in 2006. It is a historic winery. Duluc de Branaire Ducru is the second label of the Bordeaux Fourth Growth Branaire Ducru, located in the Saint Julien area of the Médoc, covering an area of 50 hectares. Each year, 75% of new oak barrels are used during the fermentation of grapes, which is very rare for non-first growth estates. It is precisely due to the craftsmanship and management that is on par with first growths that many of the wines produced by Branaire Ducru often exhibit quality that surpasses their classification.
