Description
The refinement and intensity of a fine Saint-Julien red wine
The producer
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, an iconic Saint-Julien Cru Classé, watches over a prestigious terroir. Over the past 300 years, six families have worked to ensure that this wine, with a worldwide reputation, never loses its shine. Owned by the Borie family since 1941, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou gets its name from the beautiful stones that make up the terroir’s soil, Günzian gravel. Managed by Bruno Borie, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou ranks among the elite of fine Saint-Julien red wines. Vintage after vintage, its wines delight lovers of fine Médoc wines from all around the world.
The vineyard
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou’s distinguishing feature lies in the exceptional quality of its vineyard. The vines are planted on Günzian and Pyrenean gravel soils, deposited by the Gironde estuary nearly two million years ago. These poor soils produce exceptional wines.
The blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (95%)
Merlot (5%).
