Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou

Ducru-Beaucaillou – 2^nd Growth in Saint-Julien – has been owned by the Borie family for three generations. A consistent performer for many decades, the 21^st century has seen even greater effort and consistency in offering the finest wines which these vineyards can produce.

Situated in the south-east of the Saint-Julien appellation, the main part of the estate is located close to the Gironde River, thus taking advantage of its moderating effects on the vines. The immense care taken in the vineyards, along with very selective picking at harvest, sorting and separate vinification of the various plots, results in an extremely polished and superb version of Saint Julien.

One of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, Ducru-Beaucaillou’s history dates back to the start of the 13^th century. Bertrand Ducru purchased the estate in 1795 and added his name to the estate. The Borie family started the modern era at the estate in the early 20^th century. With roughly 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot, Ducru-Beaucaillou offers early charm and grace but can age and improve for decades.
