Château Ducru Beaucaillou - 2ème Grand Cru Classé 1993

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, a prestigious Second Cru Classé from the 1855 Classification, stands as a beacon of excellence in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux. Its history dates back to 1720, with the Borie family meticulously owning and managing the estate since 1941, ensuring consistent quality through generations. The château's unique character stems from its "beautiful stones" (Beaucaillou) – deep, well-draining gravelly soils, moderated by the Gironde Estuary, fostering complex and distinctive wines. The vineyards are predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (around 70%) and Merlot (around 30%), with an average vine age of 35 years contributing to the wine's depth and concentration. 

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou consistently crafts wines renowned for their elegance, structure, and aromatic complexity. These wines typically display a captivating deep garnet hue, evolving with subtle brick-red reflections as they mature. The bouquet is a sophisticated tapestry of spicy red and blackcurrant fruit, often complemented by nuanced notes of pepper and cedar. On the palate, they are generally medium to full-bodied, offering a soft, harmonious, and finely woven texture with ripe red and dark fruit flavors, supported by a refined tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. The finish is typically persistent, reflecting the unique terroir.
