Bright and deep in colour with purple reflections. Full of charm, the aromatic bouquet reveals fresh notes of black fruit and subtle floral hints of violets. Aeration reveals delicate spicy and wood notes with beautifully silky tannins. This cuvée from Château Ducru-Beaucaillou will delight those who love the fine red wines of Haut-Médoc.
An icon of the left bank, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is undoubtedly one of the greatest names in the Bordeaux region. The 2nd classified growth in the official classification of 1855 embodies the perfect model of a great Saint-Julien. Acquired by the Borie family in 1941, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou takes its name from its extraordinary terroir. Under the leadership of the determined and talented Bruno Borie, Ducru-Beaucaillou has become one of the greatest wines of Saint-Julien.
The Château Ducru-Beaucaillou vineyard is situated along the river and planted in soils of gravel dating from the Gunz Ice Age. Located near the Gironde estuary, the vines enjoy an exceptional microclimate and the river, which acts as a thermoregulator.
This cuvée is vinified in the cellars of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou by the property's technical teams. Aged for 12 months in Bordeaux barrels, 20% in new oak and the rest in barrels of one previous wine.
