Located in the appellation of Saint-Julien, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
is named for the beautiful large stones and pebbles that cover the
vineyard. These stones create ideal grape-growing conditions, as they
aid in drainage, reflect sun onto the vines, and keep the ground from
drying out. These conditions create the "typical" Saint-Julien wine -
elegant and smooth, with a long finish. The outstanding structure of
these wines gives them great aging potential as well.
The Borie family has owned the estate for the past 60 years, and still
lives in the château. The château itself is unusual for Bordeaux
because the house was built directly over the cellar, which means the
family lives literally surrounded by their wines. The estate's second
wine is called La Croix de Beaucaillou.
