The elegant nose of red and black currants, cedar wood and spice box still reveals dried herbs The wine has an intense ruby/purple color, excellent density and medium body in an elegant style with a hint of tar and sweet fruit." ____________________________________________________ 2002 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou - Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé - 1 Bottle (0.75 L) A very beautiful bottle ! - Very good Level (perfect) - Label: legible, clean and complete - Capsule and Cork : in very good condition - Grape variety/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~70%), Merlot (~30%) - Aging: Woody - Maturity: Old wine - Color: deep ruby red with some purple highlights. - Nose: Presence of red and black fruit, dominance of blackcurrant and cherry; also sweet spicy touches. - Mouth: creamy and massive density; medium-bodied wine with a very elegant style.

Today, the château is still masterfully managed by the Borie family, who work to maintain the exceptional quality of production. The considerable presence of gravel – or pebbles – in the soil of the vineyard, the origin of the name of the cru, is far from unrelated to the quality of the wine. Perfectly balanced, this reveals a beautiful aromatic bouquet. Like any Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé, Château Ducru Beaucaillou attracts the constant interest of lovers of fine wines, particularly amateurs and investors: a sure value in almost all old vintages. ___________________________ SHIPPING : Shipping cost includes insurance.
