Château Ducru Beaucaillou
In St.Julien, close to the Gironde estuary, Château Ducru Beaucaillou embodies more than three centuries of château history. A key turning point came in 1720 through a marriage that consolidated the vineyard; in 1795 Bertrand Ducru gave the estate its name, and its status as a Second Growth in 1855 cemented its place among Saint‑Julien’s benchmarks. Since 1941, the Borie family has shaped its modern chapter.
“Beaucaillou” refers to the deep Gunzian gravels—beautiful pebbles—that favour Cabernet Sauvignon with aristocratic structure, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Parcel vinification, controlled extraction and élevage in French oak barriques are tuned for texture, definition and length.
The estate’s iconic 19th‑century architecture underscores this ambition: heritage expressed as precision. Ducru Beaucaillou delivers Saint‑Julien as history made tangible—balanced, profound and built for exceptional ageing.Château Ducru Beaucaillou
