Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Madame De Beaucaillou, 2020

Madame de Beaucaillou is an invitation but also an introduction to the Borie signature, to the philosophy of the house. This new wine comes from their vineyards located in the Haut-Médoc; plots brought by Madame Eugène-Borie on her marriage and more recently by the acquisition of plots from Madame Fort-Pradère. A tribute to the woman who chaired the Supervisory Board from 1998 and until this year 2020, but also to an attentive and loving mother. To the muse too. The opportunity to put the spotlight on this great lady who, out of discretion and humility, was content to stay in the shadows. Gently, calmly, her image will join the long line of female owners of Ducru-Beaucaillou, equally inspiring and demanding, Marie Desjean, Marie du Luc Ravez, Lucie-Caroline Johnston, Princesse Marie Karadja de Constantinople, Mary de Burke... All of them had an essential role in the rise to fame of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Strength and grace...
