Chateau Branaire Ducru is the first-class wine of Cathay Pacific, and its Chinese name comes from a 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 for fermentation, which is very rare among non-first growth estates.

Its finish is long and focused, showcasing purity and finesse. Marked by its freshness and finely structured tannins, this wine delivers a poised and elegant expression, ideal for aficionados of classic claret.
