Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien 2009

Standing out from the crowd with its distinctive yellow/brown label, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou was the first second growth producer to break away from the crowd and start to attract higher prices and create the Super Seconds group that it belongs in. With a name originating from the estates first owner, Ducru, and the name of the vineyard itself, Beaucaillou, Ducru has long produced wines of utmost elegance and lovely balance. None more than this outstanding example of a 2009 Saint-Julien. Rated as high as a perfect 100 points by eminent wine critic, Robert Parker Jnr, this is a Ducru for the ages that will quickly disappear as collectors and enthusiasts take advantage.
