This classic, long-lasting, exquisite wine has ranked for decades as amongst the best in Bordeaux. The Borie family, owners since 1941, make this Saint Julien wine in the traditional way. The wine always requires a decade's patience, combining colour, strength, fruit and finesse in an exceptionally harmonious whole. The chateau itself is very impressive being a great wide building between two square towers added in 1880 by the then owners. "Once again, the 1995 is of first-growth quality...a classic, compelling example of Ducru that should not be missed." Parker, 94. (12 x 75 cl)

"...a knockout nose of minerals, liquorice, cassis and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite-Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. Anticipated maturity, 2008-2035." Parker, 96. (12 x 75 cl)
