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 brightening, broad ochre rim. Delicately leafy nose, tobacco spice, fine cherry confit, some orange zest. On the palate, medium weight, almost slender, present tannins, balanced, drinking style, clean fruit, medium length, delicate type, yet a typical Ducru, somewhat old-fashioned, definitely has further aging potential.

Château Ducru Beaucaillou

The Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, is a vineyard of 75 hectares, located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde. AOC Saint-Julien, he is ranked a second growth in the famous in the Grand Cru rankings of 1855. The first traces of the estate date back to the thirteenth century. The castle was for centuries, until 1720, the property of the Bergeron family. In 1795 the estate was ceded to the  Ducru family and the it took their name.  Bertrand Ducru then undertook radical changes to the castle (with the help of architect Paul Abadie) and the new viticulture installations (new winery). The consecration of these efforts will be the status of second growth ranking in the 1855 classification. In 1866, the castle was sold to the family of Nathaniel Johnston (1836-1914), a wine merchant and potter from Bordeaux, mayor and representative of St. Julian. The financial crisis of 1929 forced Nathaniel Johnston to sell the estate to the Desbarats family  and after only twelve years they ceded it to the Borie family, who still owns the castle today. Terroir. Ducru-Beaucaillou is named after the big stones Günz having a thickness from 6 to 8 m. The implantation iis 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot 30%, with the desire not to use or Petit Verdot Cabernet Franc. The vines are an average of 35 years old, and are planted in high density (10,000 plants / ha). Wine. Ducru-Beaucaillou also produces a second wine, La Croix de Beaucaillou. .
