Ducru Beaucaillou 1999 is a Saint-Julien blend composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. In this vintage the vineyard has yielded a wine with profound structure and depth, with a bouquet of blackcurrant, plum and subtle spice notes. The wine was matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, with 80% being new, which has contributed to a nuanced texture. While still retaining its fruit-forward profile, it reveals additional layers of leather and earthy elements, making it a structured yet approachable option for discerning collectors.
