Wine Description
The 2022 vintage of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou presents a deep, opaque ruby colour with purple undertones. On the nose, it delivers a rich and complex bouquet of blackcurrants, dark cherries, violets, crushed stones, and subtle notes of graphite and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with layers of ripe black fruit, cassis, tobacco leaf, and dark chocolate, framed by refined tannins and vibrant acidity.

Food Pairing
This structured and complex red pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb rack, grilled ribeye steak, or truffle risotto. Its depth and tension also complement aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Parmigiano-Reggiano. A perfect match to enhance the wine's complexity.
