Ducru-Beaucaillou


Regaining control of the castle by Bruno Borie after the death of his father Jean-Eugene, is now complete. After some wavering in the early 2000s, recent vintages produced, obtained at the cost of a drastic selection, reconnect with the grand style of Ducru-Beaucaillou the years 1960, 1970 and 1980.

Never demonstrative, over-extracted nor very powerful, the wines are conspicuous by their distinction and the silkiness of their material. These are great classic Medoc and balanced. Caution, however, a Ducru-Beaucaillou fully revealing do with age, it is always a shame to eat too early, its freshness in the final is the opposite of heavy wines too often made ​​today. Note that the second wine of Chateau is also highly recommended.

Unfortunately, like Cos d'Estournel, prices are rising in recent years.
