La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2016 0,75l
La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou is the charismatic Saint-Julien crafted by the team of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Its vines grow on the estate’s famous gravel and quartz soils, which naturally limit vigour and concentrate flavour. The bouquet is intense, with cassis, black cherry, violets, graphite and a hint of cocoa. On the palate the wine is full‑bodied yet silky, showing layered dark fruit, finely polished tannins and great length. Freshness and finesse balance the richness, evoking the hallmarks of top Saint‑Julien. A noble Bordeaux for rib‑eye steak, roast lamb or slow‑braised beef, with excellent cellaring potential.
Twelve months in French oak, 60 percent new, give this Saint-Julien density, generous fruit and fine spice.
