Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2. Cru Classé fra Saint-Julien har de seneste 10-15 været blandt de mest interessante i Médoc, hvis ikke hele Bordeaux. Slottet scorede perfekte 100 points hos Robert Parker i 2009 og siden da har kvaliteten været helt outstanding, hvor yderligere to 100 points rating er givet i både 2018 og 2019 fra henholdsvis Jeb Dunnuck og Wine Enthusiast.

Derfor finder du også en exceptionel vinoplevelse i slottets 2. Vin ”La Croix Ducru”, der med adskillige 95 points anmeldelser ikke er langt efter sin ”storebror”.

En powerfuld og silkefin Saint-Julien, der med et års modning på 60 % nye egetræsfade har struktur og delikate fadkrydderier til at udvikle sig voldsomt de næste 10-15 år i kælderen.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Anmeldelser af La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien 2020 OWC 

95/100 Decanter
"So much purity and definition, this is a beautiful wine with clarity of flavour. Touches of grilled almond and rosemary, mocha, smoke and coffee bean, there is so much freshness, with juice rushing in between the muscles and a mint leaf finish. 3.78pH, 60% new oak. Yields were 25-30hl/ha. In a year where second wines in the Médoc have sometimes suffered from over-concentration, La Croix de Beaucaillou is a standout success."

95/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of currants, orange peel and dried flowers. Minerals. Medium to full body, fine and lightly chewy tannins, and a long and linear finish. Hints of salt. Crushed stone. Flavorful and bright. A little closed. Needs time to open. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 44% merlot, and 3% petit verdot. Better after 2027."

"The second wine of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou matches many châteaux's Grand Vins. Their 2020 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou (52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot) reveals a dense purple hue as well as full-bodied array of cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and tobacco. It has tons of minerality, a stacked mid-palate, and ripe tannins. Give bottles 2-4 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following two decades."

"The 2020 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, matured in 60% new oak for an expected 12 months, is pleasantly reduced on the nose, opening up in the glass with intense black fruit laced with black olive and subtle estuarine scents. The palate is medium-bodied with an appealing powdery texture. A structured Saint-Julien with tangible backbone and grip on the finish. Yet, there is exquisite balance and impressive salinity on the aftertaste. Excellent."

93/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Mint leaf, tobacco wrapper, cherries, herbs, spice, and currants. The wine is forward, soft, polished, round, fruity, bright, and fresh, with ripe dark, red fruits that create the sapid finish. The elegant finish with its black cherry, mocha, and spice nuances tastes as good as it feels. Hold this for 3-5 years before opening a bottle and it will really start showing its essence."

93/100 Izak Litwar, Great Bordeaux Wines

Nyd den flotte Saint-Julien til gris, kalv, oksesteaks, lam, vildt og ikke alt for kraftige tapasretter. Servér ved 16-18°C
