Medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and a seamless texture, the La Croix's ripe dark fruit flavours are interwoven with hints of spice, liquorice, and earthy minerality, creating a harmonious and well-balanced profile. Pair with grilled ribeye steak or lamb chops, roast duck with a red wine reduction, or wild mushroom risotto.
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a Second Growth estate under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, is celebrated for producing wines of remarkable finesse and structure. La Croix de Beaucaillou is crafted with the same care and attention as the grand vin, offering a more immediate and accessible interpretation of the château's style.
What the critics say:
"This is a firm, dark wine, with dense tannins. It is well balanced, having the ripe fruit that is the hallmark of this vintage. It comes from a single parcel of Ducru-Beaucaillou vineyards. It is likely to age over the long term while showing attractive fruit at an early stage."
"Pristine, attractive fruit with perfume and freshness. Dark-berry and plum notes, as well as cassis and brambleberries, define the character of both nose and palate. The tannins are saturated in ripe dark berries and plums and deliver a superbly fresh, shimmering, dark-fruited finish. Wow-factor is strong here in 2016. Try this from 2024."
