    Product description

    Château Ducru Beaucaillou, meaning ‘beautiful stone’, has the reputation of being a super second and, its little brother la Croix de Beaucaillou receives the same care in both vineyards and cellar.

    Matured for more than 12 months in oak barrels (60% new), this is a great introduction to this splendid estate. Full bodied and complex with silky tanins and great length.

    Awards

    I love the aromas of minerals, flowers, blackberries and blueberries. Full body with a fabulous texture of polished and integrated tannins. It goes on for minutes. Spicy, subtle fruit and a long and marvelous finish. Currant bush undertones. A whole and beautiful wine. The second wine of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Drink or hold.

    About the producer: Château Ducru Beaucaillou

    Château Ducru Beaucaillou, meaning ‘beautiful stone’, is located in the south east of St Julien. Once part of Château Beychevelle, the estate was split the 17th century well before Bernard Ducru acquired and renamed the property. After successful ownership, Jean Eugene Borie rescued the estate in the 1950s. Today his son Bruno Eugene is in charge of the domaine that thrives the reputation of being a super second. Made with high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (usually around 90%), Ducru Beaucaillou is known for being powerful yet elegant and charming.  View our selection.

    The 75 hectares of vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, with an average of 35 years old vines.  The grand vin is usually aged for 18 months in oak barrels of which 90% is new.
