Product description
From France’s Bordeaux region, this Saint-Julien wine comes from the prestigious Château Ducru Beaucaillou, an estate renowned since the 18th century for producing elegant and age-worthy wines. Owned by the Borie family, the château is celebrated for its meticulous vineyard management and a philosophy centred on precision, balance, and terroir expression.
Wine Description
This blend of approximately 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot presents a deep ruby colour in the glass. The nose reveals floral notes of lily alongside blackberries, plum, cocoa, and hints of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, offering silky tannins, supple texture, and vibrant freshness. Layers of red cherry, raspberry coulis, and subtle tobacco are lifted by graphite and spice, culminating in a refined, mineral-tinged finish.
