Château Ducru Beaucaillou

This morning kicks off with Château Ducru Beaucaillou, which we are delighted to offer @ £525.00 IB per case. . . I have to take my hat off to Bruno Borie as this is an unexpected and substantial reduction compared to the 2006 (370 Euros in our cost). . .

Quality at Ducru has seriously increased over the past few years, to the detriment of the cases produced - now running at circa 10,000 cases compared to nearly 20,000 from past years. . .

The 2007 vintage has received consistently good reviews from all the leading critics;

90-92 Parker

92-94 Neal Martin
"A dark purple/garnet colour. Again, very pure on the nose, hints of rose petals, raspberry, red cherries – again very refined. This is an excellent Ducru – very fine tannins, very cohesive, not dissimilar to Las-Cases, certainly much more refined than in recent years. Svelte, silky smooth and very seductive. Nice grip on the finish. Good effort this year, a touch better than the 2006".

NB: The 2006 currently sells for £780.00 IB per case. . .

Please revert ASAP if you wish to acquire the highly recommend 07 Ducru.

Robert Parker awards de Fieuzal Blanc an impressive 92-94. . .
