Flavour notes

In the glass, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2016 shows a very dark purple-red colour. The aroma is deep and layered, with blackcurrant, cassis, blueberry, blackberry and dark plum, joined by violet, graphite, pencil shavings and cedar.

On the palate it is full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured. The tannins are ripe yet powerful, while freshness and tension keep the dark fruit core alive. Mocha, spices, liquorice, occasional espresso, camphor, toasted oak, hoisin and fruitcake add further depth.

The finish is long and persistent, carrying dark fruit, cedar, spice and a clear graphite-like mineral note.

Product info about Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2016 Magnum (1,5l)

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2016 Magnum is the grand vin of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou from Saint-Julien in Bordeaux. The estate is a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, yet the most compelling part of this wine is its sense of place: the name refers to the beaux cailloux, the deep Günz gravel and quartz stones that help define the vineyard.

The 2016 vintage is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. That Cabernet-led blend sits at the heart of the wine's powerful, structured style. The growing season began with a cool, wet spring, followed by drought and then a favourable late summer, allowing the harvest to take place under good ripening conditions.

Maturation lasted 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The oak presence is part of the wine's architecture, supported by the concentration, freshness and tannic frame described in the tasting notes. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this magnum stands out as a serious Saint-Julien with strong vintage identity, a distinguished château name and only limited remaining availability.

This is a dry, powerful Bordeaux built with long-term cellaring in mind. Its very high scores from recognised critics underline how strongly the 2016 Ducru-Beaucaillou has been received. For the table, it asks for a dish with depth; beef Wellington is specifically mentioned as a pairing.

About CH DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a respected winery from the Bordeaux region in France, more specifically located in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate owes its name to the striking pebbles (beaux cailloux) in the soil, a feature that contributes to the character of the wines. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou belongs to the so-called Deuxièmes Crus Classés according to the famous 1855 classification. The estate has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century and has been managed by the Borie family since 1941. In the vineyards, mainly cabernet sauvignon is planted, supplemented with merlot, which is typical for Saint-Julien. The wines from this house are known for their complexity, elegance and the potential to age well. In addition to the grand vin, the château also produces a second wine: La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou. Quality control and meticulous selection are important in the production process, which has ensured that the estate has remained a fixture within the Bordeaux wine world over the years.
