    Fresh and focused Saint-Julien with juicy, rounded tannins

    "Gorgeous milk chocolate on the perfumed nose which also shows roses and blackcurrants. Supple and agile, this flows nicely in the mouth. Grainy texture, flavours of medicinal herbs, anise, clove, a touch of liquorice with dark bramble fruits spreading across the palate, with a little bitterness on the cheeks and tongue, but good density and focus, powdery tannins. Juicy, precise and focused. A nice effort with good overall freshness.
    Decanter

    • Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (59%), Merlot (35%) and Cabernet Franc (6%)
    • Aged 12 months, 30% new oak

    Food Pairing: Perfect with a pan-fried veal chop in a creamy chanterelle sauce or a classic roasted rack of pork with prunes. Incredible alongside a tender duck breast with green peppercorns or a beautifully crisped potato cake with duck confit. Also delicious with semi-hard, savory cheeses like a semi-mature Gouda or an artisanal Tomme de Savoie. | 🌡️Serve at around 16-18°C


    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Few names in Bordeaux carry the prestige of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a benchmark 1855 Second Growth situated on the Left Bank. Under the stewardship of the Borie family since 1941 - and guided today by Bruno Borie's dynamic vision - the estate draws its identity and renowned quality directly from its unique terroir.

    The 2020 vintage emerged as an exceptional year for the region despite significant weather hurdles. Extended dry periods balanced out earlier rains, shrinking berry size and concentrating flavors. The resulting harvest yielded smaller volumes than usual, but the quality and health of the fruit set the stage for deeply rich, powerful wines.
