$190.00 price per bottle
Powerful, silky, and very aromatic, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou beguiles with its bouquet, its balance, its remarkable finesse and its lengthy finish. An excellent cuv?e that stimulates then captivates the senses; it is the perfect introduction to the Borie signature. The blend consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. 94+ Points - Wine EnthusiastFrom vines within the Ducru-Beaucaillou vineyard this is a significant wine in its own right. It is generous in rich blackberry flavours, severe tannins and a complex balance between acidity and ripe fruitiness. It will age well. 94 Points - Jeb DunnuckThe second wine of this great ch?teau 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 flavours of pure cassis, crushed stone, graphite, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco, it has been building fine tannins, flawless balance, and an excellent 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 over two decades of prime drinking. 93+ Points - James SucklingA young red with gorgeous 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. 91+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateRich 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. For example, Clos du Marquis and Les Forts de Latour, La Croix de Beaucaillou isn't a second wine per se but rather a cuv?e produced from dedicated parcels. Best after 2025.
