Product description
France, Bordeaux, Saint Julien. Château Ducru Beaucaillou, classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the most celebrated estates of the Médoc. Owned by the Borie family since 1941, the estate is renowned for its precision, elegance, and the unique gravel terroir (‘beaux cailloux’ or ‘beautiful stones’) that shapes its wines.
Wine Description
Deep garnet-purple in colour, it opens with captivating aromas of crushed blackcurrant, redcurrant preserve, and wild blueberry, layered with dark chocolate, violets, and hints of exotic spice. The palate is concentrated and powerful yet refined, with ripe black fruit, graphite, and floral undertones supported by finely polished tannins. Full-bodied and structured, the wine displays outstanding balance, freshness, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
