2010 Château Ducru Beaucaillou, St Julien
2010 Château Ducru Beaucaillou, St Julien
Ref: BORD1053
Ducru Beaucaillou is right at the forefront of that exclusive group, the "super-seconds": those second growths properties that are nipping at the heels of the first growths in terms of their wine's quality. The Borie family bought Ducru in 1941 and also own Grand Puy Lacoste and, until recently, Haut Batailley. Vineyards here sit on deep banks of gravel deposited over the millennia by the actions of the Gironde. The second wine is called La Croix de Beaucaillou.

Tasting Notes
"Very deep garnet in color, the 2010 Ducru-Beaucaillou is just slightly closed to begin, featuring subtle wafts of baked plums, espresso and bay leaves before kicking it up a notch with expressive notes of blackcurrant cordial, chargrilled meats, woodsmoke and crushed rocks plus a tantalizing touch of truffles. Full-bodied, concentrated and oh-so-decadently fruited in the mouth, the palate is built like a brick house with firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the tightly wound flavor layers, finishing with epic length and depth. 99/100." Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Sweetness
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
