Description
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a Second Growth Bordeaux estate with a history dating back to the 17th century, is known for producing wines of exceptional finesse and longevity. The 2005 vintage, one of the finest in recent decades, benefited from near-perfect weather conditions, producing a wine of great depth and balance. The blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers a rich bouquet of ripe dark fruit, tobacco, and cedar, while the well-integrated tannins provide a smooth, refined texture. Now maturing beautifully, this wine is a prime example of Ducru-Beaucaillou’s ability to produce wines with both power and grace, perfect for collectors seeking a sophisticated Bordeaux.
