Falstaff January - 2010
Falstaff
Medium carmine garnet, strong ochre tone, broad watery rim. Fine sweet forest berry fruit on the nose, nuances of figs and nougat, well-matured bouquet, a hint of kumquats. Elegant on the palate, medium texture, delicate orange notes, sweet cherries, pleasant extract sweetness on the finish, offers a substantial-opulent drinking pleasure, fine coffee notes in the aftertaste. Deteriorates somewhat in the glass, a sign that the peak has already been passed. Drink now.

Better than expected from this deservedly maligned vintage for the Left Bank . The wine is better on its complex, earthy, cigar box, cedar and earthy nose, than on the palate. This requires consumption.

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.
