Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
Château is named after the beautiful, large stones found in its unique wine-growing terroir. Enticing aromas of complex fruits with flinty floral herb cedar scents. On the palate, this blend of 91% Cab Sauv & 9% Merlot shows big berry fruit flavors with smoky tones and underlying sweet notes. Fine tannins, balanced acidity, lingering big finish ending with round fruit and mineral notes. Tasting Sample.

1 person found it helpfulJun 29th, 2018The special second wine of the evening this Sunday night we have opened the 2012 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. A special weekend with life long friends deserves a special wine.
The aromas are of big dark fruit, black cherry, black raspberry, blueberry, black currant, licorice, graphite and a good soil component.
On the palate are excellent notes of black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, black pepper, graphite, a bit of oak, florals and a nice rich soil note.
This wine is medium to full bodied with medium + acidity, medium + well rounded tannins that leads to a lengthy finish that is pleasing all the way through. An enjoyable wine now or will be even better in 10-15 years. Have a great week and please stay safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Like a piece of beautiful raw wood. You know it is going to be a work of art with the right amount of time. Superior structure, I mean finish long, tannin gripping, acid prevalent, but layers of different flavors.

Mar 13th, 2015NR, lacking integration at this point and felt a little disjointed. The mid palate seemed a bit soft.

Mar 18th, 2015Oak, black fruits aroma. Deep, calm, elegant and makes me feel large potential. Just 2012 in 2019, but it can be enjoyable, very smooth. But I am feeling that it is difficult to find the real value from 2012 vintage. Good balance at really high level. @1200/100ml(7800), T Enoteca, 190310
