Region : Bordeaux, St Julien

Country : France

Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou features an intense, deep purple color with a nose of ripe black and red fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by spring flowers, licorice, and vanilla. The palate is an intense attack leading to a mid-palate with bright, ample fruit and a creamy texture against a tannic core, finishing with notes of cherry, mocha, and spiced black fruit. Made with 80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Petit Verdot, it was aged in new French oak for 12 months, offering a refined, classical style built on elegance rather than power. 

About Winery

A magnificent property overlooking the Garonne from the heights of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou enjoys a reputation that is no longer to be proven. 

The history of Château Beaucaillou dates back to the 13th century, but it was not until 1795 that it began to make a name for itself, when it was acquired by Bertrand Ducru, who added his name to it.
