Note di degustazione
Cassis, ripe black cherries, graphite, and spicy oak all emerge from the 2025 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, the second wine of Ducru-Beaucaillou, based on 87% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon that's still resting in 55% new French oak with the balance in once-used barrels. The blend includes slightly more Merlot than normal due to the small berry size of Cabernet this vintage, yet despite the high Merlot content, it brings ample finesse, precision, and focus. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a focused, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and outstanding length.

The 2025 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most subdued wines in this range from Bruno Borie. Plum, blackberry, gravel, spice and lavender gradually open in the glass. Petit Verdot is elevated in the 2025, and that drives the blend, which may explain some of the reticence here.
