Parker about Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2021
A wine that will delight Médoc purists, the 2021 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a blend of fully 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot and checks in at a mere 12.5% alcohol. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cigar wrappers, violets, loamy soil and spices, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with superb depth at the core, lively acids and powdery tannins. Complete and penetrating, it's a true classic, reminiscent of a modern-day version of Ducru's brilliant 1996—although today's precision winemaking means that the 2021 is unlikely to go through as long a hibernation as that vintage.
Suckling over Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2021
Firm, structured and pure with a cool and solid core of dark currants, blackberries, tar, pencil lead and bitter chocolate. Hints of tobacco, too. Firm but silky tannins. Very pure, with a long, mineral finish. Intense and very focused. 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% merlot.

Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2021
The 2021 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou boasts a deep purple color and a captivating bouquet. Aromas of black fruits such as cassis and blackberries blend with subtle nuances of tobacco, graphite, and a floral note. This impressive aromatic diversity continues on the palate, where silky tannins and remarkable freshness underline the wine's structure.
A precise selection of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, grown on the gravelly soils of St-Julien, gives this wine finesse and depth. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and vinified using traditional methods.
Aging takes place in French oak barrels, where the interplay of craftsmanship and modern winemaking techniques shapes the wine. The harmonious balance between fruitiness, structure, and a hint of spice reflects the philosophy of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou.
