Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
 Light, bright and with more cedar, herbs, leaf and tobacco than fruit, the classically styled wine has slipped past full maturity. The finish is bright, crisp and a bit tart with a full load of cigar notes.

Château Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a 75-hectare wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien AOC, it is classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 classification. The first traces of the estate date back to the 13th century.

The château remained the property of the Bergeron family for several centuries until 1720. In 1795, the château came under the control of the Ducru family, after whom the estate was then named. Bertrand Ducru undertook to profoundly modify the château (with the help of architect Paul Abadie) and the wine-making facilities (new cellars). The culmination of these efforts came with the attribution of Second Growth status in the 1855 classification.

In 1866, the château was sold to the family of Nathaniel Johnston (1836-1914), a Bordeaux wine merchant and faience maker, mayor and deputy of Saint-Julien. The financial crisis of 1929 forced Nathaniel Johnston to sell the estate to the Desbarats family, who after only twelve years had to cede it to the Borie family, who still own the château today. The Ducru-Beaucaillou terroir owes its name to the large Günz gravel stones with a thickness of 6 to 8 m. The grape variety composition is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, with a determination not to use Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are planted in very high density (10,000 vines/ha). Ducru-Beaucaillou also produces a second wine called La Croix de Beaucaillou.
