ABOUT THE WINE
Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, a prestigious 2ème Cru Classé, presents its exceptional second wine, the 2019 Petit Ducru. Owned by the renowned Borie family, this estate spans 50 hectares in the southeast of the St. Julien appellation. The vineyards thrive on well-drained gravel soils interspersed with sizable stones, providing optimal drainage and enhancing the complexity of the wine. The 2019 vintage benefits from the maturity of 45-year-old vines, producing a wine of outstanding depth and refinement.
The 2019 Petit Ducru boasts a vibrant, deep ruby hue and delivers an exquisite balance of power, elegance, and structure. Reflecting the heritage of the renowned Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, this vintage is crafted to evolve beautifully with careful aging, rewarding those with the patience to appreciate its full potential over time.
TASTING NOTES
LThis elegant wine opens with an alluring bouquet of dark fruits—ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and hints of plum—intertwined with floral undertones, earthy tobacco, and a touch of graphite. Silky, well-integrated tannins provide balance, while layers of cassis, black cherry, and refined minerality unfold on the palate. The wine culminates in a long, lingering finish with notes of dark chocolate and spice.
FOOD PAIRING
Experience the depth of the 2019 Petit Ducru alongside gourmet pairings such as a classic beef Wellington, black truffle mushroom risotto, or an indulgent charcuterie and artisan cheese board. Its rich fruit and smooth tannins elevate every dish, creating a truly luxurious dining experience.
