Description

Vineyard Notes: Its proximity to the vast Gironde River estuary (some 635 km²). The four daily tides that stir up this massive body of water mitigate the rigors of winter, moderate the summer heatwaves, and deflect the devastating trajectory of hailstorms. No less than 50 manual interventions contribute to the crafting of Ducru-Beaucaillou “grand vin”. Ageing: Slow aging in 100% new French oak barrels for 18 months.
