Deeply concentrated yet almost effortless in its poise, the 2016 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou layers pure blackcurrant and plum fruit with cedar, dark cocoa and a gentle floral lift, all carried on silken but firmly structured tannins. The finish is long, cool and very precise, showing the clarity, power and polish that make this one of the standouts of the vintage.
Dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow, Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, Truffled mushroom and Comté gratin

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is the grand vin of this historic Second Growth estate in Saint-Julien, crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and drawn from the château’s best, deeply drained Günzian gravel parcels closest to the Gironde estuary. Long regarded as a “Super Second,” it is known for uniting Margaux-like finesse with Pauillac-like power, yielding structurally precise, ageworthy wines that combine pure cassis fruit, refined tannins, and a distinctive mineral elegance shaped by its “beautiful pebbles” terroir.
