La Croix de Beaucaillou 2016 is the seriously classy second wine from the legendary Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien—and in this vintage, it’s more than just a little sibling.
Rich, structured, and polished, it delivers ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum fruit with layers of cedar, spice, and a hint of graphite. There’s real depth and poise here, supported by silky tannins and fresh acidity that give it both immediate appeal and great ageing potential.
"Pristine, attractive fruit with perfume and freshness. Dark-berry and plum notes, as well as cassis and brambleberries, define the character of both nose and palate. The tannins are saturated in ripe dark berries and plums and deliver a superbly fresh, shimmering, dark-fruited finish. Wow-factor is strong here in 2016. Try this from 2024."
