Description

The history of the château dates back to the 17th century, when it was part of the much larger Château Beychevelle, which was eventually sold as part of a debt repayment. The estate remained in the family over the years until the 1855 Classification, in which it was ranked as a Second Growth. Austerity during the Depression and the Great War led to Ducru Beaucaillou being sold several times until it finally fell into the hands of the Borie family in 1941, in a dilapidated and ruined state. The family made great efforts to renovate and expand the estate, acquiring a significant plot of land from the neighbouring Château Lagrange. Their management greatly benefited the winemaking here, but it was not without incident - in the 1980s, cellar contamination made some vintages undrinkable and damaged the château's reputation. These problems are now a thing of the past, and today the name Ducru Beaucaillou is synonymous with quality. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is an estate from Saint-Julien, which today is one of the leading Super Seconds. It is owned by the Borie family and is located in the southeastern part of the Saint-Julien appellation. The 50 hectares of Ducru-Beaucaillou vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 5% and Petit Verdot 5%) are located on large-pebbled gravel layers, enriched with alluvial soil deposits and with a high clay content. The wines are aged in oak barrels (50-60% new) for 18 months.

This château is undoubtedly one of the most consistent and best estates in Bordeaux. The 1986 vintage is no exception, showing great calm and restraint.
