      La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou 2019 is a full-bodied, vibrant red wine produced by Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, under the meticulous care of winemaker Bruno Borie. This exceptional wine is crafted from vineyards in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, known for their historic terroir featuring “beautiful pebbles” or “beaux cailloux.” These quartz-rich soils create the perfect environment for Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (46%), and Petit Verdot (4%) to thrive. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (60% new), this wine reflects the estate’s passion for excellence and its unique terroir. With an ABV of 14%, it is both powerful and refined.

      The wine dazzles with its deep garnet-purple color and sumptuous aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, and cassis, complemented by hints of licorice, vanilla, and cigar wrapper. The bouquet charms with notes of toasted oak, floral accents, and earthy loam, offering a tantalizing introduction to its bold and elegant character.

      On the palate, La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou 2019 caresses with a silky texture and a polished structure. Juicy black fruits, such as black cherries and plums, burst forth, layered with exotic spices, creamy chocolate, and a subtle hint of smoked tobacco. The wine’s finely grained tannins provide a muscular yet balanced framework, while the core reveals a fresh acidity that lifts its flavors to a remarkable finish. The graphite-laced finale is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of distinction and finesse.

      This lacroix ducru beaucaillou vintage showcases the estate’s commitment to creating mineral-driven, concentrated wines that captivate connoisseurs. It stands as a testament to the region’s historic vineyards and meticulous winemaking techniques. The 2019 vintage is ready to drink now with decanting but will evolve beautifully for over two decades.

      The La croix ducru beaucaillou 2018 also garnered praise for its rich, opulent style, showcasing cassis, crushed stone, and floral aromas, making it another stellar example of this estate’s ability to produce timeless wines.

      Critics have acclaimed the 2019 vintage highly. James Suckling rates it 96 points, highlighting its vibrant aromas of blackberries, chewy tannins, and solid core of fruit. Jeb Dunnuck praises its regal elegance and flawless balance, also awarding it 94 points. Decanter’s 94 points emphasize its bold presence and plush berry flavors, while Wine Advocate describes its creamy oak notes and concentrated palate as truly exceptional.

      Critical Acclaim

      WE 94
      Wine Enthusiast
      From vines within the Ducru-Beaucaillou vineyard this is a major wine in its own right. It is generous in rich in blackberry flavors, serious tannins and a complex balance between acidity and ripe fruitiness. It will obviously age well.
      WA 91
      Wine Advocate
      Rich aromas of cassis, licorice, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and creamy new oak introduce Bruno Borie's 2019 La Croix de Beaucaillou, a full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's rich and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit and plenty of fine, chalky tannin. Like for example Clos du Marquis and Les Forts de Latour, La Croix de Beaucaillou isn't a second wine per se, but rather a cuvée produced from dedicated parcels. Best after 2025.
      DEC 94
      Decanter
      Deep damson colour and mouthfilling from the start, this expands outwards through the palate, filling up with concentrated yet plush berry fruits, notes of smoked oak, hazelnut, grilled liquorice. A real presence, approaches the 2016 but with more evident approachability. Appealing now but sure that it will close down pretty tightly for a while as this has a high tannin count of 88IPT. (JA)

      Jeb Dunnuck
      The second wine of this great château is the 2019 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, which is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot that was raised in 60% new barrels. It fits into the lineup beautifully and sits nicely between the Le Petit Ducru and the Grand Vin. Deep purple-hued, with full-bodied aromas and flavors of pure cassis, crushed stone, graphite, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco, it has building yet fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. It shows the more regal, classy, elegant, yet still concentrated style of this vintage perfectly. Give bottles a healthy decant if drinking any time soon, and it will have upwards of two decades of prime drinking. Best After 2022.
      JS 96
      James Suckling
      Fantastic aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, licorice and walnuts. So St.-Julien. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins that are really long and serious. Like the 1995 Ducru! One for the cellar. Needs at least until after 2028.
      VIN 96
      Vinous
      The 2019 La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou is endowed with a gorgeous, quite sumptuous bouquet loaded with black plum, tobacco, smoke and Earl Grey aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant tannin, harmonious and velvety in texture, gradually building towards a detailed and mineral-driven finish. Maybe less opulent than the 2018 by comparison, yet a Deuxième Vin full of breeding.
