Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

92-94 Barrel sample. A blend of a number of Haut-Médoc estates owned by the Borie family, the wine is spicy, ripe with firm tannins wrapped inside a comfortable richness. At this stage, the wood is showing of course, but so is the ripe black fruit.

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Deep dark ruby garnet colour with opaque core and purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Black cherries, subtle notes of blackberries, delicate floral nuances, a touch of orange zest. Juicy, elegant, ripe plums, vivid tannins, mineral and salty finish, chocolatey aftertaste.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2022 Madame de Beaucaillou is an elegant, polished wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and white pepper are all beautifully lifted. Mid-weight and gracious, with terrific purity, the Madame de Beaucaillou is a gorgeous wine from proprietor Bruno Borie and his team at Ducru-Beaucaillou.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2022 Madame de Beaucaillou is a very typical wine for the year. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2022 is charming right out of the gate. Succulent red cherry fruit, spice, rose petal and lavender notes are front and center. Plush, silky tannins wrap it all together. Bruno Borie’s Haut-Médoc is flat-out delicious. Points: 90-92

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Madame de Beaucaillou offers up aromas of dark berries, plums and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate that's quite rich and concentrated, with a juicy core of fruit framed by youthfully chewy tannins. It's a blend of 66% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot. Points: 89-91

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Grippy and firm in the mouth, tannins take hold with blackcurrant, fragrant plums, liquorice spice, tobacco and stone element. It has a flash of heat at first but then settles with a cooling touch on the finish. High acidity meets plenty of brooding spice and bitterness to give plenty of flavour with lingering bite. Unfussy but this has personality.
