Structured intensity defines the 2021 La Croix de Beaucaillou, with vivid blackcurrant, blackberry and plum lifted by graphite, spice and a subtle saline edge. Medium to full in body yet refined, it offers firm, grippy tannins and impressive concentration for the vintage, finishing long, dark-fruited and precise. This is a particularly Cabernet-driven, focused expression with real depth and charm.

La Croix de Beaucaillou is Château Ducru-Beaucaillou’s dedicated Saint-Julien cuvée from inland gravel parcels distinct from the grand vin, often described as a “second wine” in style but sourced from its own specific terroir. Typically a Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot blend with a touch of Petit Verdot and raised in a high proportion of new French oak, it is known for combining Ducru’s polished, graphite-tinged elegance with rich blackcurrant and plum fruit, making it a muscular yet refined expression of central Saint-Julien.
