Jean-Marc Quarin March - 1993
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color. Garnet. Medium intensity. Bright and beautiful. Nose of medium intensity. Fresh fruit with a note of cedar. Soft and understated attack, developing on a medium intensity structure, with an elegant tactile contact. Juicy, fruity and well-balanced tannins. Silky, subtle, woven and rather aromatic finish. Good persistence.

Intense carmine garnet, ruby reflections, a broad rim. On the nose delicate plum compote, subtle dried fruit and orange zest, with a hint of caramel and nougat. On the palate medium texture, fine red berry fruit, fresh acidity, a medium-bodied, clean food pairing, uncomplicated, delicate cherry finish and floral nuances on the aftertaste.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
As one might expect, this is rather thin on the nose, very earthy but that said, less “green” than expected with strong, almost over-powering sous-bois characters and a touch of tomato vine. The palate is nicely defined with a modicum of freshness, but it is very sharp and rather hollow on the finish, the fruit long ebbed away if there was much to start with.

Château Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a 75-hectare wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien AOC, it is classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 classification. The first traces of the estate date back to the 13th century.

The château remained the property of the Bergeron family for several centuries until 1720. In 1795, the château came under the control of the Ducru family, after whom the estate was then named. Bertrand Ducru undertook to profoundly modify the château (with the help of architect Paul Abadie) and the wine-making facilities (new cellars). The culmination of these efforts came with the attribution of Second Growth status in the 1855 classification.

In 1866, the château was sold to the family of Nathaniel Johnston (1836-1914), a Bordeaux wine merchant and faience maker, mayor and deputy of Saint-Julien. The financial crisis of 1929 forced Nathaniel Johnston to sell the estate to the Desbarats family, who after only twelve years had to cede it to the Borie family, who still own the château today. The Ducru-Beaucaillou terroir owes its name to the large Günz gravel stones with a thickness of 6 to 8 m. The grape variety composition is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, with a determination not to use Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are planted in very high density (10,000 vines/ha). Ducru-Beaucaillou also produces a second wine called La Croix de Beaucaillou.
