Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, La Croix de Beaucaillou 2016
Medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and a seamless texture, the La Croix's ripe dark fruit flavours are interwoven with hints of spice, liquorice, and earthy minerality, creating a harmonious and well-balanced profile. Pair with grilled ribeye steak or lamb chops, roast duck with a red wine reduction, or wild mushroom risotto. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a Second Growth estate under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, is celebrated for producing wines of remarkable finesse and structure. La Croix de Beaucaillou is crafted with the same care and attention as the grand vin, offering a more immediate and accessible interpretation of the château's style.
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou, (Magnum) 2020
The 2020 Le Petit Ducru is a classy claret with real depth and charm, full of dark berry fruit, well-balanced acidity and suave tannins. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (with a touch of Petit Verdot in some vintages), it’s aged for 12 months in oak (one-third new), and made with the same rigorous attention to detail as the estate’s grands vins. This is the newest member of the Ducru-Beaucaillou family — a beautifully crafted introduction to the estate's signature style. Sourced from Ducru-Beaucaillou’s vineyards in Saint-Julien, the 2020 it offers a glimpse into the elegance, structure, and elan that define its elder siblings, Ducru-Beaucaillou and La Croix. In short, it’s a seriously good bottle for fans of classic Bordeaux — with all the hallmarks of Ducru, just in a more accessible and earlier-drinking package.
