Creating an account has many benefits:
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inFrom 2018 there is a beautiful third wine from Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, coming from the vineyards of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. This new wine comes from the grapes of the vineyards that Bruno Borie's family owns in Saint Julien. It is a worthy replacement for Château Lalande Borie, which is no longer on the market and is replaced by Le Petit Ducru.
The intention is that it is a first approximation of the qualities of the two larger wines "La Croix de Beaucaillou" and "Château Ducru Beaucaillou". There is a family bond, a kind of similarity between these three nectars. They have the following in common: a rigorous technique, a drastic selection and a demanding vinification. This wine matures for 12 months in 1/3 new oak barrels. It shines with its fine structure, its complexity within a beautiful balance and has a lot of elegance in the fruit.
In the glass, the Petit Ducru has a beautiful dark ruby red color. on the nose mainly fresh red fruit, herbs and some cedar wood and leather. In the mouth the wine is medium to full-bodied, wonderfully juicy and with good structure. It is a very nice example of how this Petitg Ducru Saint Julien combines a certain power with lots of fruit, elegance and finesse. Our advice is to decant and give air in his younger years (93-4/100 Suckling).

Part of the Ducru-Beaucaillou stable, the 2020 Le Petit Ducru is a blend of 78% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. It has an alcohol of 13.75% and the pH is 3.74. It is set to age for 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it comes barreling out of the glass with open-knit scents of ripe black plums, black cherries and mulberries, plus suggestions of cinnamon toast, potpourri and dried Provence herbs. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of juicy black fruits and a soft texture with unobtrusive acidity and a savory finish.

The Borie family has now owned this stately château for three generations, overlooking the Gironde. Since he took over the château in 2003, Bruno Borie has had only one goal: to make Ducru-Beaucaillou one of the best wines in the Médoc. The vineyards are planted with cabernet sauvignon (70%) and merlot (30%). As the name of the château implies, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is blessed with a grand pebble-rich terroir that produces perfect cabernet sauvignon. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou takes its name from its "beautiful pebbles" ("beaux Cailloux", in French) which geologists less romantically refer to as Gunzian gravel. These quartz pebbles were deposited by the ancient Garonne at the beginning of the early Quaternary, some two million years ago. It is enough to take a walk through the vineyards to find rich lithological finds. Lydian jasper from the Pyrenees, flint, quartz, agatoids ... This Gunzian gravel creates soils poor in plant nutrients. But it is precisely their agricultural scarcity that guarantees the qualitative excellence of the wines. A choice from nature.
At Ducru-Beaucaillou, excellence is formed inch by inch thanks to an understanding of what the vines have to offer. Experience, intuition, asking questions, for a symbiosis with Mother Earth; people only pass through these noble terroirs. Since nature is a "subject of law", every procedure in the vineyard respects the entire ecosystem: herbicides have been abandoned in favor of mechanical weeds and judicious turf; replacing chemical fertilizers with manure and quality compost; insecticides with pheromones to control vine moths or kaolin clay to lure the green locust. Measures to facilitate aeration and sun exposure of the bunches, to avoid Botrytis and, if applicable, bacilli. Constant monitoring of available nitrogen before harvest. Reasonable viticulture, which earned the property ISO 14001 certification in 2016, supplemented with HVE3 certification (high environmental value level 3) since 2017.
Deze 2020 Le Petit Ducru toont rijp zwart en rood fruit zoals pruim, braam en zwarte kers, omlijst met laurierachtige kruiden, subtiel cederhout en een zachte, zijdezachte textuur met aangename zuurgraad en een hartige finish. Daardoor vormt hij een mooie partner bij rundvlees, lam, rijpe kazen en stoofschotels: het fruit verzacht de tannines en snijdt de vetten weg, terwijl de kruidigheid en het eikenhout harmoniëren met krachtige smaken. Kies voor gegrild of rosé gebakken côte de boeuf, langzaam gestoofd rundvlees of lamsrack met Provençaalse kruiden en serveer hem bij ouder wordende kazen zoals oude Gouda of Comté voor een optimaal samenspel.
