Located next to the Gironde River estuary, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has been looked after by six families for 300 years. Composed with günzian gravel dating back to the Quaternary period, the soils are poor with plant nutrients, however their agrological paucity guarantees the qualitative excellence of the wines. This wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot Noir.
Tasting Notes:
“This is brimming with personality, with inky depths to the colour and clear austerity on the opening beats. As it opens, the concentrated cassis and blueberry fruits switch from being stretched taut to a softer creamy texture. Full of precision and skillful blending of liquorice, cigar box and bitter dark chocolate with fresh acidities that hold right through the core of the wine. Signature St Julien elegance but with uncompromising swagger, one of the wines of the vintage. Blends are exactly as they were during En Primeur, with even the press wines added before the En Primeur tastings, and it is delivering on promise. 100% new oak (with the staves unusually seasoned for six years before being made into barrels), 3.8ph. 300th vintage of Ducru.” - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021
