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 !

The 2020 vintage is rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "The wine is still very seductive, with precise contours and a fresh fruitiness that explodes. The palate is energetic, but also deep and probing. A very fine bottle to cellar for the next decade." (Guide 2024)

The 2021 vintage is rated 98/100 A. Galloni "The Ducru-Beaucaillou 2021 captures all the potential it has shown in barrel. A delicate and restrained wine, the 2021 impresses above all with its finesse. All the elements are impeccably balanced. Time spent in the glass brings out the wine's inner sweetness and magnificent perfume. The balance with the oak, sometimes difficult here, is also flawless. With less alcohol and therefore less oak extraction than recent vintages, the 2021 promises to be a modern-day classic." (february 2024)
