Jeannie Cho Lee May - 2014
Jeannie Cho Lee
 Generous, full bodied Ducru filled with ripe sweet plums and dried blackcurrants. The palate is generous and layered with flavours that are fully open. Beautifully composed wine at its peak.

Perfect pairing. The wine seemed a bit tired and muted - required 10-15 minutes before all of the aromatics and fruit started surfacing. Initial notes of funk and farmhouse, leather, prunes, and slight soy sauce. With air, more dried black fruits emerged with some spice.

Harvest took place this year from 23rd September to 8th October. The wine was aged for around 12 months in two-thirds new oak. Medium brick-brown in color, the 1990 Ducru-Beaucaillou is quite evolved, offering notions of incense, tree bark, tilled soil and tobacco with nuances of preserved plums, kirsch, tapenade and leather. Medium to full-bodied, the palate still possesses a good amount of earth-laced savory fruit with a bit of chew to the texture and a stewed tea finish.

Medium ruby garnet, very strong lightening, broad ochre rim. Delicately leafy on the nose, tobacco spice, fine cherry compote, some orange zest. Medium-bodied on the palate, almost appearing slender, present tannins, balanced, drinking-friendly style, clean fruit, medium length, delicate type, yet a typical Ducru, somewhat old-fashioned, certainly possesses further aging potential.

Château Ducru Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most illustrious estates of the Saint-Julien appellation, classified Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Located on deep gravel overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou owes its name to the "beautiful pebbles," those characteristic quartz stones that ensure perfect drainage and ideal thermal retention, essential conditions for the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Founded in the 18th century and acquired by the Borie family in 1941, the estate is now managed by Bruno-Eugène Borie, who has profoundly strengthened the stylistic identity of the cru. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has established itself as one of the most refined signatures of Saint-Julien, sought after for the precision of its aging, the exceptional quality of its fruit, and the nobility of its tannins.

The vineyard sits on Günzian gravel ridges among the finest in the Médoc. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by Merlot, the blend produces wines of great depth, combining density, freshness, and structure. The aging in French oak barrels, perfectly mastered, supports the structure without masking the expression of the terroir.

Vintages such as Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1982, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1995, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1996, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2005, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2003 or Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2014 illustrate the consistency and exceptional aging potential of the estate, now considered a major reference among the great collectible wines of Bordeaux.
