La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien AOC (Château Ducru-Beaucaillou GCC 2nd wine)

The wines of La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou come from the vineyard of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. This exceptional Médoc terroir is situated between the Gironde River to the east, the centre and the west of the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate owes its name to its “beautiful pebbles” (“beaux cailloux”, in French) which, because of their high quartz content, make for soils that are poor in plant nutrients.Powerful, silky, very aromatic, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou beguiles with its bouquet, its balance, its remarkable finesse and its lengthy finish. A great cuvée that stimulates, then captivates the senses; it is the perfect introduction to the Borie signature.For more info, visit Château Ducru-Beaucaillou website.
