Second Growths (Deuxièmes Crus)

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Estate

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a renowned Bordeaux wine estate located in the Saint-Julien appellation. The property dates back to the 13th century and has been owned by the Borie family since 1941. Ducru-Beaucaillou is classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The château produces exceptional red wines, primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.

1995

Saint Julien Shows Force

A cold spring followed by intense summer heat waves led to concentrated fruit at Ducru Beaucaillou in 1995, with harvest under ideal September conditions. The estate's signature gravel-clay terroir produced profound blackcurrant and blackberry notes layered with graphite and cigar box. The wine displays remarkable depth and structure, embodying Saint-Julien's refined power.

1999

Left Bank Shows Class

Variable spring weather followed by a warm, dry summer challenged Ducru Beaucaillou in 1999, with careful harvest timing proving crucial. The estate's deep gravel soils yielded classic cassis and cedar notes wrapped in characteristic Saint-Julien minerality. The wine demonstrates elegant balance and refinement, showcasing the terroir's ability to excel in demanding vintages.

2017

April Frost Spares Sites

While spring frost impacted much of Bordeaux, Ducru's prime position along the Gironde provided natural protection during the critical April period. The estate's deep gravel soils maintained steady ripening through the warm summer conditions. The wine displays Saint-Julien's classic cedar and blackcurrant profile, with pronounced mineral drive from the vintage's fresh character.

2019

River Breezes Cool Vines

The château's prime position along the Gironde estuary provided crucial temperature moderation during intense summer heat, while the deep gravel soils offered perfect drainage after sporadic rains. The old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon thrived in these conditions, particularly in the estate's river-facing parcels. The wine shows intense cassis, graphite, and violet notes with the refined power typical of this Saint-Julien second growth.
