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.
CVNE, Imperial Gran Reserva 2016
On the nose, the 2016 Imperial Gran Reserva presents aromas of black and red fruits, complemented by notes of forest floor, cloves, roasted coffee, cigar leaf, chocolate, caramel, and balsamic nuances. The palate is deep and elegant, with warm tannins well balanced by acidity, leading to a long and complex finish. Crafted from the finest vineyards of Rioja Alta, this wine undergoes a meticulous selection process - from the vineyards to the cellar, to the barrels, resulting in a Gran Reserva with superb aging potential. The cooler growing season has yielded a wine with vibrant acidity and integrated tannins, balancing both power and grace, perfect for drinking now or cellaring for years to come.
