Product features : La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou 2023 Saint-Julien
Breeding
Aged in new oak barrels for 12 months.
On the eye
Deep purple-violet in colour, nearly opaque at the core, with a dark intensity that suggests considerable concentration.
On the nose
Pristine aromatics of blackcurrant cream, dark cherry and ripe plum. The bouquet is pure and well-defined, with no rough edges, developing gradually in the glass.
In the mouth
Substantial yet architecturally sound. The palate is structured by abundant tannins of exceptional fineness—polished rather than aggressive—that provide a firm backbone without overwhelming the fruit. The wine has considerable weight and presence.
This wine will shine alongside duck ballottine, roasted veal or a fine cheese course. Its structure and elegance make it an ideal companion to game and rich poultry preparations. Best enjoyed from 2027 onwards, though approachable now for those with patience.
