Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Bordeaux 2020

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou traces its origins back to 1720, when the estate was first established in the heart of Saint-Julien, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its name, “Beaucaillou,” meaning “beautiful stones,” pays tribute to the deep, gravelly soils that have long defined its unique terroir. Over the centuries, the estate earned a stellar reputation for producing wines of remarkable elegance and structure, culminating in its recognition as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.

The modern legacy of Ducru-Beaucaillou was shaped by the Borie family, who acquired the château in 1941. Under the leadership of Bruno Borie today, the estate has become a benchmark for Saint-Julien, combining tradition with innovation. With its iconic 18th-century château overlooking the Gironde estuary and its reputation for consistently producing long-lived, noble wines, Ducru-Beaucaillou stands as one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed and enduring names.
