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.

Jeb Dunnuck

Rating (97 - 99) Moving to the Grand Vin, it's a slightly more Merlot-influenced blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot, raised in new barrels. It brings the same level of concentration and structure as the La Croix but has another level of class, elegance, and purity, with sensational aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, crushed stone, sandalwood, and graphite. The purity here is truly remarkable, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, perfectly integrated oak, silky tannins, and a great finish. This beauty hit 14% natural alcohol with a pH of 3.8 and an IPT of 95. Given its balance as well as its texture, it's going to offer pleasure with just short-term cellaring yet also evolve for decades. Reviewed by: Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: May 2023.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Rating (94 - 96) One of the Médoc's most powerful wines this year is the 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot that opens in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with pencils shavings, vanilla pod and spices. Full-bodied, broad-shouldered and muscular, with a core of ripe but lively fruit underpinned by a chassis of powdery, liberally extracted tannin that asserts itself on the finish, it's a punchy, modern Saint-Julien reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of the 2018 and 2020.

Vinous

Rating (95 - 97) The 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou is elegant and nuanced. Bright red/purplish fruit, rose petal, blood orange, mint and spice give the 2022 unusual brilliance. In most recent vintages, Ducru has been on the opulent side. The 2022, on the other hand, is strict and linear in construction, a wine that is more about persistence than size. Bright saline underpinnings extend the mid-palate into the striking, beaming finish. Harvest took place over four weeks, the longest ever, as opposed to the two weeks or so that is the norm. Yields were 30hL per hectare, down from the 35-37 typical in recent years. Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni, Issue date: April 2023. Drinking window: 2032 - 2052.
