About
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2022 is a striking and powerful expression of Saint-Julien's elegance and structure. As a Second Growth (2ème Grand Cru Classé) from the 1855 Classification, this wine consistently stands among the greatest in Bordeaux. The 2022 vintage benefitted from a warm and dry season, yielding a wine of great concentration, poise, and depth—crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot adding roundness and charm.
Tasting notes
Deep, saturated purple in color. The nose bursts with blackcurrant, cassis, dark cherry, and graphite, wrapped in layers of cedar, tobacco, and violet. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with silky but firm tannins, intense dark fruit, and a long, mineral finish. Exceptional balance between power and elegance ensures extraordinary aging potential—decades of evolution ahead.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with dry-aged beef, rack of lamb, duck confit, or truffle risotto. The wine’s richness and structure allow it to stand alongside deeply flavoured, savoury dishes while enhancing their depth.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon wines shows a strong body, high acidity and high levels of tannins. A bouquet is very intensive, with black berries and spices. Very often these wines has great aging potential.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
