Cellar Tracker December - 2023
Cellar Tracker
Yes this is a very old wine but still going strong and right in wheelhouse. Light brown amber color showing it’s age, but in the glass intense nose of tertiary Bordeaux without being overly oxidized. Leather, tobacco, hints of red fruits. Lots still going on. Clearly a well stored bottle and these generally are a bottle lottery in the older vintages.

Medium carmine garnet, orange brightening, broad ochre rim. Restrained on the nose, delicate notes of fig confit, a hint of dried fruit, actually hardly any bouquet. On the palate lean, somewhat faded, delicate berry confit, some redcurrant, remains rather short, nuances of orange fruit on the finish, in any case very rarely found on the market.

Château Château Ducru Beaucaillou

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.
