Château Ducru Beaucaillou Haut-Médoc Madame de Beaucaillou 2022

From the winemaking team at Château Ducru Beaucaillou, this wine’s full title is Madame de Beaucaillou, Hommage à Madame Eugène Borie (owner Bruno Borie’s mother), and is drawn from 55ha across the appellation, 35ha of Listrac, 11ha of Cussac Fort Medoc and the rest Moulis, all declassified into Haut-Médoc. It’s a success in 2022, and you’ll see some of the glamour of the mother ship Ducru although expect the full concentration of the year. Plenty of Left Bank signature here, black fruits riven through the spice notes. 29hl/h yields.
