The 2011 Croix Ducru Beaucaillou from Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a superb reflection of the Saint-Julien terroir in Bordeaux, France. Its deep, garnet hue is a prelude to the complex aromas of cassis, blackberry, and cherry, alongside hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, this wine is elegant and refined, with velvety tannins and a lively acidity. Layers of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and spice unfold on the palate, leading to a long and satisfying finish. The 2011 vintage has allowed for a perfect balance between fruit and structure, making this wine approachable now but also capable of aging gracefully. A true testament to the skill and expertise of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, this Croix Ducru Beaucaillou 2011 is a must-try for any wine lover.
Winemakers Notes
Ducru-Beaucaillou, love of the land and hedonism
For 300 years, six families have nurtured an indelible bond with Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. They are forever captives of this prestigious estate; the Desjean, Bergeron, Ducru, Johnston, Desbarat, or finally the Borie's families were never short of praise for it. Today, the resident owner Bruno-Eugène Borie, 3rd generation at the helm of the estate, cultivates the lands of this 2nd Classified Growth in 1855 and his French art of living with passion and rigour.
La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, a high-flying second wine
Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is an original expression of the terroirs of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Ducru-Beaucaillou’s elitist approach is fully at work here. The same passion as well, that of a dedicated team committed to excellence. A truly exceptional vintage that perfectly reveals its exceptional terroir. A great cuvée that stimulates, then captivates the senses; it is the perfect introduction to the Borie signature.
