Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2025 - France - En Primeur
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most iconic Second Growth estates in the Médoc, known for its precision, power, and consistently high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon–driven style. The 2025 vintage is a standout expression, combining remarkable concentration with elegance and freshness.
The bouquet is highly refined and layered, offering blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, violet, crushed stone, graphite, cedar, and subtle tobacco and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet extremely polished, with finely sculpted tannins, excellent tension, and a deep core of pure fruit. The structure is powerful but controlled, leading to a long, precise, and mineral-driven finish.
