La CROIX DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU
Second wine from Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Second wine of Ducru-Beaucaillou. As for the other wines made by Bruno Borie (Le Petit Ducru and Ducru-Beaucaillou), La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou has considerably progressed since 2003 to the point of becoming a direct rival of the 3rd/4th classified growths of St-Julien. Moreover, it now benefits from a contribution of vines purchased from Château Terrey-Gros-Cailloux.

Bettane & Desseauve : 92-93/100 « Puissant et harmonieux, saint-julien dans le corps et dans l'esprit »
Le Point : 16/20
Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2022 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is super-expressive. This serious, potent Saint-Julien is going to need a bit of time to fully come together, but it is certainly impressive. »
Martin : 93-95/100 « The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and seamlessly integrated oak that lends a silky texture. Very harmonious with an insistent grip, il lacquers the mouth long after it has departed. That Pauillac tincture is displayed and defines its precise finish. Excellent. »
