WINEMAKER NOTES
2022 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou – Power and Precision from Saint-Julien
The 2022 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou is a striking Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien, known for its gravely terroir and elegant, long-lived wines. This vintage reflects the estate’s ongoing commitment to precision viticulture and bold, polished expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes
Brimming with aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice, and violets, the wine opens into notes of graphite, spiced plum, and toasted cedar. The palate is structured and concentrated, with firm tannins and a vibrant core of dark fruit that carries into a persistent, mineral-driven finish.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Crafted from a blend dominated by **Cabernet Sauvignon**, with **Merlot and Petit Verdot**, the wine was aged in **100% new French oak barrels** for approximately 18 months. The estate’s deep gravel soils—known as “beaux cailloux” or “beautiful stones”—provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine’s balance of richness and refinement.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou is already being hailed as one of the vintage’s standout wines. With limited allocations and a growing global following, this Grand Cru Classé is ideal for long-term cellaring and serious collectors. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The **2022 vintage** in Bordeaux was marked by extreme heat and low yields, yet top estates like Ducru produced wines of remarkable concentration, freshness, and structure.
