Product details
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou's Madame de Beaucaillou Bordeaux Red Blend 2020 is an exquisite wine with a deep violet hue, brimming with vibrant red fruit aromas of plum and cherry, complemented by a delicate floral touch of violets. The flavors are well-concentrated, offering both depth and breadth on the palate, leading to a fresh and pleasing finish. Crafted with precision, this red blend is well-constructed, promising both immediate enjoyment and the potential to age gracefully.
The wine is aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, with 20% in new oak and the remainder in one-year-old barrels, adding subtle complexity and structure. Regular racking ensures clarity, and the use of high-quality oak, naturally matured outdoors for at least three years, enhances the wine's character. This vintage is a tribute to the women who have shaped Château Ducru-Beaucaillou's rich history, honoring their strength and grace, and continuing a legacy of excellence that began in the early 18th century.
