Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien 2eme Grand Cru Classe 2017

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou stands as one of Saint-Julien's most prestigious estates, earning its Second Growth classification through decades of elegant, age-worthy wines. This 2017 vintage showcases the hallmark balance of the appellation—a refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot and Petit Verdot. Expect a wine of considerable structure with dark fruit complexity, subtle oak influence, and the mineral precision characteristic of Left Bank Bordeaux. The 2017 vintage offers approachable drinking now while possessing the backbone to develop gracefully over the next 15-20 years. A benchmark expression of classic Bordeaux winemaking for serious collectors and enthusiasts.
