Specification

Producer

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

A very severe selection for the first wine has resulted in a leap in quality for the second wine at this Château. The grapes for this wine come from the central part of the St Julien commune. A super second wine from a "super second" Classed Growth property.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful Claret that has an endearing personality. Now evolving well, firmly structured, it is elegant but not lean and boast a classic cedar palate with attractive red berry fruits. The angular tannins give a certain sturdiness but, without doubt, a very result this vintage.

Food Matches

Enjoy with roast ribs of beef and yorkshire pudding with a horseradish, crème fraiche and mustard sauce.
