Following the 2018 (and tasted next to the 2020), the 2019 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou comes across as more refined and elegant, with a straight, focused, still full-bodied profile that has pure cassis and blue-tinged fruits as well as textbook tobacco leaf, violets, and graphite. It’s a regal, refined, aristocratic Ducru Beaucaillou that has ultra-fine tannins and a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and while it’s seriously concentrated, it stays graceful and light on its feet. It’s closed down slightly since release, so this beauty needs a solid 7-8 years in the cellar.

A very fine wine, rich with its tannins and its structure. The wine is powerful without losing sight of its fine fruits, black currant flavors and acidity. Balanced and with great potential. Drink from 2027.

This is so seductive on the nose, with perfumes of violets, blackcurrants, raspberries, and orange peel. Subtle. Ethereal. Full-bodied with such fine tannins and delicacy, with great length and beauty. Sophisticated and refined. Really amazing purity and depth. Great length, too. 80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. Leave this for at least five or six years.

Classic Saint-Julien Refinement

At Ducru-Beaucaillou's prime parcels, the challenging 2008 season was saved by a magnificent Indian summer that allowed Bruno Borie's team to harvest under ideal conditions in October. The estate's deep gravel soils provided crucial drainage during the wet periods, while strict selection in both vineyard and cellar ensured only the finest fruit made it into the grand vin. The long, cool ripening period produced a classic vintage that emphasizes precision and elegance over power.

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.

Elegance Triumphs Over Adversity

The 2021 growing season at Château Ducru-Beaucaillou was marked by spring frosts, a cool and wet summer, and increased disease pressure, demanding meticulous vineyard management. The estate's gravelly soils and proximity to the Gironde estuary provided crucial drainage and temperature moderation. Strict selection during the late September to early October harvest ensured only the best fruit was used, resulting in a wine that emphasizes freshness, elegance, and the classic character of Saint-Julien.
