Château Ducru Beaucaillou "La Croix" 2018 Saint-Julien (1.5L)

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou takes its name from former owner Bertrand Ducru, who bought the estate in 1797, and from the beautiful pebbles on which the vineyards rest. Overlooking the Gironde, it was recognised as a second grand cru classé in 1855. The Borie family has been connected with the estate since 1941; Bruno Borie took over in 2003 as the third generation. The gravel soils of Saint-Julien and the proximity of the estuary form the constant background to this family story.
