Château Ducru-Beaucaillou La Croix de Beaucaillou 2005 is a full-bodied Bordeaux red wine from the Second Growth St-Julien property of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. Frequently referred to as a super second, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has in recent years emerged as one of the most consistently excellent producers in Bordeaux. La Croix de Beaucaillou is the second wine of the property and offers a generous glimpse into what makes Ducru-Beaucaillou such a sought-after wine producer. “There are 4,000-5,000 cases of Ducru`s high quality La Croix de Beaucaillou, which generally contains more Merlot than the grand vin. The 2000 reveals that component in its succulence and flesh. It should age well for 10-12 years. Readers should seek this one out.” Robert M. Parker, Jr.
