Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This is one of the top performing second wines in Bordeaux from the talented Ducru-Beaucaillou team. It has all the concentration and ripeness of recent vintages, but with slightly lower alcohol than we’ve seen in the past few years, so it has a hugely appealing freshness and balance.

This is really serious. It’s full-bodied, tight and linear with fantastic length. Racy, so fine and intense. Very fine tannins. One of the best Croix Ducru. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 44% merlot, and 3% petit verdot.
So much purity and definition, this is a beautiful wine with clarity of flavour. Touches of grilled almond and rosemary, mocha, smoke and coffee bean, there is so much freshness, with juice rushing in between the muscles and a mint leaf finish. 3.78pH, 60% new oak. Yields were 25-30hl/ha. In a year where second wines in the Médoc have sometimes suffered from over-concentration, La Croix de Beaucaillou is a standout success.
