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.

Subtle balance between power and refinement: intense aromas of ripe fruit, smooth, straightforward attack, tight, velvety tannins, great purity.
Ruby, purple color, sweet, juicy fruit, notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, fleshy sensation, open in mouth. Purity, low acidity, mature tannins for a beautiful wine.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, plums, pencil shavings, petals, burning embers and discreet hints of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered.
Tief violett-schwarze Farbe, lebhafter Duft nach schwarzen Himbeeren, Kirsch und frischen schwarzen Johannisbeeren, vollmundig, reichhaltig und voll saftiger Frucht.
Deep garnet-purple color with scents of raspberry pie, warm plums and blackcurrant pastilles plus touches of garrique, tobacco leaf and dusty soil with a hint of bay leaves.
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.
