Tasting notes

Small black fruits and cassis with violets, cinnamon and tobacco. Pronounced structure, elegant, fine tannins and excellent balance, with a long, refined finish. Fineness and elegance in the classic Saint-Julien style. Built for long ageing, it will continue to gain complexity in the cellar for many years.

About this wine

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the leading Second Growths (2ème Cru Classé) of Saint-Julien. Its 75 hectares are planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, with an average vine age of 35 years; the oldest plot, Les Sadons, dates from 1918. The heart of the estate is about 50 hectares of coarse gravel over clay beside the château, reaching down to the Gironde.

The 2015 is aged for 18 months in new French barriques.

It impresses with pronounced structure, elegant tannins and fine balance, showing small black fruits, violets, cinnamon and tobacco. A benchmark Saint-Julien that rewards long cellaring.
