A wine of exceptional depth and elegance, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a quintessential expression of Saint-Julien’s finesse and complexity. From the very first sip, it captivates with its remarkable structure and intensity. On the nose, rich aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry unfold, intertwined with notes of cedar, graphite, and tobacco, with subtle hints of violet and truffle adding further complexity. A delicate touch of spice and earthy undertones enhances its layered profile. The palate is dense, yet silky, offering a perfect balance of power and refinement. The tannins are firm yet velvety, supporting a core of concentrated dark fruit, complemented by fresh acidity and a refined mineral edge. As it evolves, expect deeper nuances of dark chocolate, cigar box, and leather, revealing the full grandeur of this exceptional vintage.
