Produced in the vineyards of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou wines are powerful, silky and highly aromatic. They are produced in the Saint-Julien AOC area. They are blends of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with the addition of Merlot Noir and Petit Verdot. They express the terroirs of Ducru-Beaucaillou. They are aged for 12 months in barrels containing two-thirds new wood. These wines are cuvées of excellence, seducing wine-lovers with their nose, finesse and balance.
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet-red color, tending toward violet in its youth.
Aroma
The nose is composed of violets and empyreumatic aromas such as wood, torrefaction, vanilla... As the wine ages, it will reveal high-quality game and truffle aromas.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Smoked
Taste
Saint-Julien wines are renowned for combining the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. As a result, we'll find full-bodied tannins with a strong note of black fruit, giving an interesting overall balance.
