Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, La Croix de Beaucaillou 2016 vs Stefano di Blasi Poggio di Guardia 2021

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.
