Château Ducru-Beaucaillou2018
About this product
Taking its name from its uniquely rocky terroir (“beau caillou” translates as “beautiful stones”), and Bertrand Ducru who purchased the estate in 1795, what we know today as Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou as a wine producing estate, has history stretches back to the 13th century.

This is so layered and beautiful with incredible tannin quality. Full-bodied with a caressing texture that reminds me of the finest cashmere. So layered. You want to swallow this. Brings a smile to the face. Wow. So well crafted.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
Deep colour. Dense dark chocolate. Black currant mocha aromas. Well concentrated wine with dark chocolate dark cherry, cassis flavours, plentiful fine grainy tannins, underlying roasted chestnut, spicy notes. Builds up very firm with long mineral acidity. Not as upfront as La Croix but really well balanced and classic.
