90 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Merlot. Dunkles, sattes Granat mit violetten Reflexen. Nobles, parfümiertes Cabernetbouquet, feine Pflaumentöne, Rosenduft, schlank und sehr elegant im Ansatz. Langer, fast tänzerischer Gaumen, seidige Tannine, wirkt somit eher leicht, fein kerniges Extrakt, mild, aber recht lange ausklingend. Man spürt den sehr hohen Cabernet-Anteil fast nicht im Körper, aber man merkt dafür, dass doch der Fett und Süsse bringende Merlot etwas fehlt. Zeigt sich im vergleichbaren Stil vom 2002er und wird noch zulegen können. (17/20). 09: Erstaunlich zugänglich im Moment, die Frucht tanzt zwischen rot- und blaubeerig, dezent blumiger Hintergrund. Im Gaumen saftig, ja schon fast süffig, eher leicht und somit nicht besonders tief, femininer Ducru mit tendenziell früher Genussreife. warten (2015 - 2028)

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 Ducru Beaucaillou has a generous red cherry and wild strawberry bouquet armed with very good fruit concentration. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy in the mouth with slightly lower acidity than its peers. Harmonious and velvety smooth, there is a fair amount of new oak here, but it is very well integrated with a caressing finish. It still has that Burgundian flair. This is excellent considering the growing season. Tasted March 2015

Offers sliced plum on the nose, with flowers and some oak. Medium-bodied, with polished, refined tannins that caress the palate. Builds on the finish. Racy for the vintage. Best after 2014. 10,500 cases made. –JS

Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Beautifully located along the Gironde estuary, the Victorian-styled Château Ducru-Beaucaillou sits high above the rest with a breathtaking view of the land and water below. Founded in the 13th century, this estate has seen only five families of successive owners. Today, the château is managed by the Jean Eugène Borie SA company, third generation Bruno-Eugène has acted as CEO since 2003. Due to its exceptional topographic origins, the large stones found across the 75-hectare vineyard provide a unique wine-growing terroir. Ducru-Beaucaillou produces quintessential Saint-Julien wines – fine, elegant, satisfying blends that linger on the palate. Classified as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé property, the grounds are planted to a mix of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot and equal portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. As a leading Super Second, the Grand Vin is an exemplary classically structured wine of the appellation, combining the grace and grandeur with its subtle cedar and dark fruit notes.
