2023 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon; 15% Merlot.

The property described the vintage as having the best of a hot and cool season. Despite a humid summer with plenty of cloud cover, the end of August and September were consistently warmer without extreme heat spikes. This created the perfect climate for optimal maturity, simultaneously retaining freshness, with final alcohol sitting at a modest 13%. The inviting nose has layers of rich, dark fruits and festive spice. The palate is equally extravagant yet with minerality that cuts through the richness, showing classy restraint. Ducru is, yet again, a joy to taste even at this early stage.

Drink 2030 - 2060

Our score: 18.5/20

About this wine

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
