Intense and deep with a cherry appearance. The nose is seductive and balanced. Lovely freshness, floral touches, jammy black fruit, toasted and vanilla notes. Well rounded on the palate. Beautiful aromatic palette combining red and black fruit, oaky notes, toast. The tannins are polished and classy, indulgent finish with very good length.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot Noir, 4% Petit Verdot

 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. -R.V.

A young red with very pretty blackberries, blueberries and stone. Hints of currant leaf. Full with firm yet polished tannins. Slightly austere, in a good sense. Persistent at the end. Linear and bright.

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
