Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Tinto

Description

Let's just say Ducru-Beaucaillou continues to make a statement in Saint-Julien. With a frankly impressive 215 hectares – one wonders if they’re not under-utilising the land! – Bruno Borie is clearly determined to showcase the best of his 75 hectares of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It remains to be seen if this ambition can truly match the wine’s legendary status, though a rich confit of duck would undoubtedly prove a deliciously decadent pairing.
