Tasted in September 2022 in Copenhagen. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and, 2% Merlot, 12.5% alcohol. It was not tasted during primeur week in April 2022, but luckily for me, it was offered to taste at the Beyerman tasting in Copenhagen in September 2022. Very aromatic and aristocratic on the nose, with aromas of tobacco leaf, cigar box, and winter truffle, highly intense yet elegant and sophisticated on the palate, vibrant, silky, grained tannin, and a long aftertaste. Extraordinary effort for the vintage.

Château Ducru-Beaucallou 2021 / Inky colour with a pure, focused nose opening with fresh violets, crème de cassis, blackberry, and blueberry, and a touch of dry ink followed by exotic spices, a hint of cedar and cigar box, and a spark of smoky graphite. Tight structure with a firm core of sleek, Charmeuse silk-textured tannins, and an impeccable precision of flavours that are etched by an exquisite freshness, giving a palpable energy to the palate. Discreet at first, the wine unfurls and builds in power, followed by an impressively long, layered, and vibrant finish. Pure sophistication.

Tietoja

Alkuperä

St.Julien, Bordeaux

Sisäpiiritietoa

For 300 years, six families have nurtured an indelible bond with Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. They are forever captives of this prestigious estate, be they named Desjean, Bergeron, Ducru, Johnston, Desbarat, or Borie. Its families were never short of praise for it. Over the decades, this devotion has managed to overcome all that is accidental or fleeting, as if passion perfected Nature's opus. 

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou owes its name to its "beautiful pebbles" ("beaux Cailloux", in French) that geologists refer to less romantically as Gunzian gravel. These quartz pebbles were deposited by the ancient Garonne at the beginning of the early Quaternary period, some two million years ago. It suffices to take a walk through the vineyards to make rich lithological finds. Lydian jasper from the Pyrenees, flint, quartz, agatoids... These Gunzian gravels make for soils that are poor in plant nutrients. But it is their very agrological paucity that guarantees the qualitative excellence of the wines. A choice of nature.
