Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a Left Bank estate situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate and its eponymous grand vin were ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. This is the 2019 vintage of its flagship wine, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot, aged in 100% new oak for 18 months. Expect a concentrated, full-bodied wine, offerings complex notes of crème de cassis, tobacco, graphite and hints of violets. Best enjoyed from 2028 onwards.
99 The Wine Independent
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the 2019 Ducru-Beaucaillou is deep garnet-purple in color. It has closed a little since last tasting a few months ago, requiring considerable shaking to bring out notes of blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly, and wild blueberries plus hints of lilacs, mocha, and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with bright, vibrant, black fruit with a lively backbone and very fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant. This is beautiful!Lisa Perrotti-Brown9th September 2023

If you like your St Juliens with finesse and balance, head to the 2019 vintage of Ducru, with its gorgeous slate, pencil lead, cigar box, cassis, bilberry, and mint leaf focus. This has tension and restrained tannic architecture, and yet opens up mid palate to allow the fruit to show its creamy side. Such clever construction, and hard to resist. Harvest September 20 to October 10. 3.8ph, 100% new oak. Emmanuel Bonneau technical director, Eric Boissenot consultant.Jane Anson31st May 2023
95 Vinous
The 2019 Ducru Beaucaillou has a pastille-like purity on the nose - black cherries, blueberry, quite floral and Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, showy and opulent, yet undeniably there is real backbone behind this Saint-Julien. Velvety smooth on the finish, this is the right way to produce decadent Left Bank Bordeaux. Fabulous. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
