• Technically I wouldnt call this one a vineyard, just a winery, as there is no single vineyard. Justinc 23:50, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• There seems to be an inconsistency regarding the name of both the Chateau and its wines. On the Chateau website they refer to themselves as Chateau Branaire, and they call their wines (1) Chateau Branaire and (2) Chateau Duluc. The labels on their first-wine bottles say Chateau Branaire (Duluc-Ducru); however this wine seems to be universally referred to as Chateau Branaire-Ducru. I'm not really sure how to resolve this and have tried to reword the article accordingly but if anybody has strong feelings or better suggestions please use my personal talk page or change the article and add comments here.

• First, I like the improvements you made Steve. Second, I agree appropriate name for the Chateau is difficult to decide on. I'm fairly certain that it's listed as Branaire-Ducru in the original classification, and many people still refer to it as such, but the label and website refer to the estate as simply Branaire. Pichon Lalande (technically Pichon Comtess de Lalande) and Pichon Baron (Pichon Longueville Baron) represent similar scenarios where the actual name is different than how the estate is commonly referred.

  • Thanks for the feedback Mike. A closer look at the fine print on the bottom of their label shows the address as Branaire-Ducru...just to add to the confusion :-) Regards Steve.Moulding 20:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
