Madame de Beaucaillou, Bordeaux Rogue, Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France 2020

A sumptuous Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a winery in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. This bottling is a newer wine from Ducru Beaucaillou plots in Haut-Medoc.

Ducru-Beaucaillou, named after the beautiful, large stones found in its unique wine-growing terroir, was classified as one of fifteen Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Perched on an exceptional site with incomparable views over the Gironde estuary, in the centre of a hundred-year-old park, Ducru-Beaucaillou is a majestic, Victorian-style castle, which has, over time, become one of the great symbols of the Médoc.

The history of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is closely linked with that of the five families who have owned it and lived in it since it was built in 1720. One of the 61 red ‘grands crus’ classified as a second cru in the famous Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855, it has been in the Borie family for over 60 years.
