  • Description

    Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Classification, lies in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Médoc. The name “Beaucaillou” means “beautiful stones,” referencing the large Gunzian gravel beds that define its terroir and lend a distinctive character to its wines.

    Ducru-Beaucaillou is renowned for producing elegant, refined wines that blend power with finesse—often described as the most “Bordeaux” of Bordeaux in terms of classical restraint and structure. The estate consistently produces wines with aromatic complexity, purity of fruit, and a signature mineral freshness that reflects its gravelly terroir near the Gironde estuary. Even in weaker vintages, the wine is known for its balance and polish.

    Reviews

    One of the Medoc's more successful wines, the 1984 has reached full maturity. It exhibits a dark ruby/purple colour, and a moderately attractive nose of minerals and jammy cranberry fruit intermixed with black currants. In the mouth, this wine has lost its baby fat, revealing medium body, and an elegant, measured personality. Pure, with well-integrated tannin, this is a stylish, graceful Ducru-Beaucaillou."
