The 2021 Madame De Beaucaillou, which comes from the Haut-Médoc, checks in as 71% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 14% Petit Verdot. It's a little gem of a Bordeaux offering ripe red and blue fruits, notes of spice, leafy herbs, and violets, medium body, and a fresh, lively, delicious profile to drink over the coming 7-8 years. Barrel Sample : 89-91

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.
Today, the estate is managed by the company Jean Eugène Borie SA, which is owned by Mrs Borie, her daughter Sabine Coiffe and her son Bruno-Eugène, CEO since 2003, the third generation of the Borie family to head the estate. There are very close links between this estate and the five families who have been its successive owners.
