Château Ducru Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2cc. 2022 1,5l
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most iconic Second Growths of Saint-Julien, facing the Gironde on a ridge of deep Gunzian gravel. Its 75 hectares of vines are planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, drawing concentration and finesse from the poor, stony soils. The bouquet delivers cassis, blackberry and black cherry wrapped in notes of violet, cedar and graphite. On the palate Ducru-Beaucaillou is dense yet silky, combining power with great precision. Ripe, finely chiselled tannins and vibrant acidity carry a very long, mineral and supremely elegant finish.
Eighteen months of ageing in new French oak frame the powerful Cabernet structure with fine spice and depth.
