Cellar Tracker March - 2024
Cellar Tracker
 The nose exuded a lot of tertiary aromas as cedar wood and tobacco were dominant, accompanied by a lovely scent of maraschino cherries and cassis. The palate still offered a good amount of fruit for the first hour, boasting red cherries and licorice in the upfront before a distinct black pepper note medlied with earthiness in the mid-palate. There was an air of energetic tension to the finish as tobacco exuded strength while a light mint note added freshness to a wine you wouldn't expect that from.

Concentrated and balanced, with ripe plum and cedar flavors over firm tannins.

Lots of smoke, truffle and tobacco going on here, but not much fruit. Medium bodied, with a red berry character, this requires drinking.

(1-1998) This is a lovely Ducru that retains much of the silky, elegant personality of a top-class St.-Julien. However, it does not have the concentration and richness of the 1982, 1978, 1970, or 1961. Now fully mature, this medium-weight, firm, yet rich, savory, and well-constituted 1976 has plenty of character and elegance.

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. .
