58% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot
Deep crimson violet. The nose is powerful, taut, with hints of black fruit and plums. The palate imposes structure, with great freshness, a hint of very polished tannin, and an attractive elegance. Rich black fruit, graphite, and dried herbs.
Second label of Château Ducru Beaucaillou. This wine comes mostly from a single parcel in the northern part of the estate.
