Description

Elegant Saint-Julien from a delicious claret vintage, classic in style, with the freshness, good balance and finesse that only top-quality Bordeaux can provide.

The name of this property has a twofold significance: beaucaillou means ‘beautiful stone’, and is a nod to the multi-coloured pebbles throughout the vineyards here, while Ducru was added to this château’s name in 1795 when it was bought by Bernard Ducru. The time he spent running this property is significant in its history: it was thanks to this man’s vision and improvements in the vineyards that Ducru-Beaucaillou earned its second growth status in the 1855 classification.

The property’s reputation was fully established under the ownership of the Borie family who purchased it in 1941, and particularly by Jean-Eugène Borie, who was responsible for the wine between 1953 and his death in 1998. His elder son, Francois-Xavier, managed the estate in Jean-Eugène’s later years but from 2003, for inheritance reasons, Ducru was inherited by his younger brother Bruno and sister, Sabine. Francois-Xavier now runs Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Haut-Batailley.

Ducru-Beaucaillou is blessed with a marvellous situation on the famous, deep Günz gravel overlooking the Gironde in the Saint-Julien appellation. It is not just the incomparable views that recommend this position: the river helps to moderate the climate, and the cabernet sauvignon vines – which form the major part of the vineyard – ripen early and well each year.
