Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Saint-Julien

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a 2ème Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Left Bank. This historic 13th-century estate has been owned by the Borie family since 1941, and since 2003, Bruno Borie has been at the helm. He is also responsible for the château's recent resurgence. The 75-hectare estate is planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Some of the vines date back to 1918. The word "Beaucaillou" translates to "beautiful stones" because of the large pebbles that cover the vineyard soil. This loose and permeable soil provides the vines with an excellent terroir and produces wines of great complexity.

In Portrait:

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is an iconic Second Growth in Saint-Julien, famous for its deep gravel soils (“beaux cailloux”) directly beside the Gironde.

The Cabernet-dominated vineyard area is divided into highly precise parcels; sustainable vineyard work, selective hand harvesting and a gravity-fed cellar ensure the highest grape quality. In the cellar, the estate relies on careful, gentle extraction and measured ageing in French oak to balance structure and finesse.

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
