ChateauDucru-Beaucaillou 2eme Cru SaintJulien Description: Classification: Second growth in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc Grape variety: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. History: The name, given by the former owner Monsieur Ducru, literally and appropriately means "beautiful pebbles". The chief feature of the vineyard is its richness in the pebbles, or "cailloux" which contribute to the greatness of so many wines of the Medoc. This gravel, about 5 meters deep, is on a calcareous base of about the same thickness. Just before the war, the vineyard became run down and many Bordeaux critics felt it no longer deserved its place as a second growth. In 1942 the Borie family purchased the vineyard and raised it to heights that it had never known before, receiving top ratings amongst the Second Growths. Successive generations of the Borie family oversee all winemaking operations. Vinification and ageing: Traditional vinification methods apply, the wine is aged 20 months in barrels of which half are replaced annually. Style: Supple yet full-bodied, a typically fine SaintJulien that needs 8-10 years to reveal its rich and fruity, elegant flavors of cassis, vanilla and ripe blackberries. Size: 112 acres producing 12,000 to 19,000 cases.
ChateauDucru-Beaucaillou 2eme Cru SaintJulien Description: 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. "...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) Price: £797.04
