Named after the quartz pebble walls that line the property stands Château Ducru Beaucaillou and its 50 hectares of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot vines. Located in St Julien and owned by the Borie family, the vines are at the age of 38 years and are aged for 18 months in up to 80% new Oak barrels.
Tasting Notes:
“Where you can drink Le Petit Ducru relatively soon, with La Croix you need to wait a few years for the structure to soften. The tannins are silky, the black fruits drenched in espresso, liquorice root spice and smoked oak. An extremely successful La Croix, sexy and powerful while still elegant and sculpted. Give it five or six years from now, and expect a drinking window of at least 15 years. Almost entirely from specific plots within the Ducru vineyard, plus a few young vines of the Grand Vin. 60% new oak.” Score: 95 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with beef, lamb, game and poultry dishes.
