Winemaker and Vineyard: The wines of La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou come from the vineyard of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. This exceptional Medoc vintage is spread between the river to the East and the center and West of the AOC Saint-Julien area. The estate owes its name to its "beautiful pebbles" which, due to their quartz predominance, give poor soils. It is precisely this "agrological" poverty, as Professor René Pijassou wrote, which gives them great value for wine production. To the East, the plots occupy Medoc hills just above the estuary while those of the epicenter benefit from a microclimate created by the small stream of La Mouline which crosses the appellation in its center, from west to east, to throw itself into the Gironde.
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°) to accompany a leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary.

From the very first whiff, the fruitiness fills the glass. The palate is full-bodied, with well-structured tannins and a delicious, vibrant, well-balanced finish.
A simply stunning wine, featuring exuberant aromas of warm black cherries and blackberry pie, framed by wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins.
Very black coffee on the nose. The wine is dense and quite tannic, with an unusual roundness from Merlot. A chameleon-like wine.
There's so much going on here, and it all plays together beautifully - party in a glass! robertparker.com
Deep purple-black colored, powerful blackcurrants, raspberry leaves and baked plums scents, followed by suggestions of dried Mediterranean herbs, tobacco leaf and graphite.
Deep garnet-purple coloured, aromas of fragrant earth, herbs and spice cake with a cassis, kirsch and boysenberries core. The palate is medium-bodied, chewy with a rustic finish.
Dense red fruit, bramble, strawberry. Ample on the palate, clean attack, very long, supple tannins.
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
Medium-bodied, the palate reveals surprising energy, a finely grained texture, and finishes on a lingering mineral note.
