[Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1986]
Robert Parker rating: 94/100
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou is named after the beautiful stones found in its unique soil, with "Beaucaillou" meaning "beautiful stone."Unlike other Bordeaux wineries, Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou is built directly above the cellars where the wine is stored, allowing the residents here to be immersed in the lingering aroma of wine every night. Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou borders the southern part of Pauillac, adjacent to the Beychevelle plateau and near Margaux.Therefore, some people believe that the terroir characteristics of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou are influenced by its geographical location, resulting in a combination of elegance and texture in its terroir. In some vintages, it can even rival first-growth estates.
The Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1985, with its deep garnet color, is elegant and possesses extraordinary charm, with floral notes mingling with cedar and blackcurrant.The wine is fully mature and smooth, with beautiful concentration and purity.She is not astonishing, and certainly not as massive as Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1986, but undoubtedly more enticing."
