Château DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU
2ème grand cru classé

Since the arrival of Bruno Borie in 2003, Ducru-Beaucaillou has been flying from success to success.  No one has forgotten that, until 1980, Ducru was the greatest of the Médoc's second growths, a position it is now regaining. Bravo !

La Revue du Vin de France : 97-98/100 “Flamboyant without ever veering into excess, Ducru-Beaucaillou shines with its crystalline purity. The fruit, juicy and smooth, expresses itself deliciously with notes of raspberry, cherry and blackberry. The palate, with its sustained intensity, unfolds seamlessly into a lively, sparkling finish. A wine that is both timeless and irresistibly charming.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 97-98/100 “This year’s rigorous selection has produced a powerful Ducru-Beaucaillou with a perfectly defined, classic style characterised by notes of cedar. The future looks very promising.”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 94-96/100 "The 2025 Ducru-Beaucaillou is fabulous. Vibrant red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, mint and blood orange are all beautifully sculpted. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. New oak is 100%, but lower toast levels and a more dialed-in approach here are palpable. Gorgeous floral and savory Cabernet top notes lift the finish. Superb, and one of the highlights of the year, Ducru is absolutely stunning in 2025."

J-M Quarin : 95/100 “Delicate on the palate at first, smooth in the middle, the wine caresses the palate slowly, velvety and very pleasant. A finish of good length, with a fine, fragrant texture. It’s lovely!”
