Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Le Petit Caillou Saint Julien 2016
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Le Petit Caillou Saint Julien 2016
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou is named after the beautiful, large stones found in its unique wine-growing terroir. This exceptional ecosystem produces fine, elegant, tasty wines with a long finish - in short, archetypical Saint-Julien wines.
Perched on an exceptional site with incomparable views over the Gironde estuary, in the center of a hundred-year-old park, Ducru-Beaucaillou is a majestic, Victorian-style castle, which has, over time, become one of the great symbols of the Médoc. Unusual for Bordeaux, it is built directly above the barrel cellars, enveloping its owners, who have lived here for over sixty years.
A youthful deep purple color shines in the glass. Black cherry and plum aromas are augmented by hints of cedar, wild herbs, and cocoa powder. The palate is ripe and chewy, with grainy, slightly gritty tannins supporting the medium-bodied structure. Open-knit and approachable, the palate explodes with juicy black fruit flavor, balanced by fresh acid and nuanced hints of violets, licorice, and cedar. A brilliant wine from the team at Ducru-Beaucaillou. Drink now - 2029.
