La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou 2020

Ducru-Beaucaillou

Case Format: 6x75cl

A high-flying wine that perfectly expresses its terroir of exception. This wine blends a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (around 60% each year), completed with Merlot Noir (35% to 37%) as well as a subtly spicy touch of Petit Verdot (3% to 5%). It is carefully aged for 12 months in barrels of which two-thirds are new each vintage. 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.

CRITIC REVIEWS

William Kelley

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, violets and licorice, the 2020 La Croix de Beaucaillou is medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a pure core of perfumed fruit and a charming, precise profile.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2020 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a little swirling to bring out notes of plum preserves, warm cassis, and underbrush with touches of clove oil, cedar chest, and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock full of juicy black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy.
