2019 Madame de Beaucaillou Haut Medoc

This is the second vintage of this new label coming from the cellars of Ducru Beaucaillou. Given that the winemaking team of the second growth grand cru classified wine sells for over $250/btl, this new Haut Medoc wine from the same meticulous team offers amazing value.

The new wine comes from vineyards located in the Haut-Médoc; plots brought by Madame Eugène-Borie on her marriage and more recently by the acquisition of plots from Madame Fort-Pradère. The wine was created as a homage to the woman who chaired the Supervisory Board from 1998 to today, but also to an attentive and loving mother. Under the Haut Medoc appellation, this wine offers Borie quality at an entry-level price.

Vinified in the cellars by the Ducru-Beaucaillou team, this wine receives the best care: the technical winemaking process, very selective blending, and careful aging for 12 months in barrel (including 20% new oak). Technique at the service of purity of expression. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon rub shoulders without ever competing; one brings opulence, the other brings structure. In blends, as in marriage, it is complementarity, the mutual exaltation that counts. Madame de Beaucaillou is an invitation but also an introduction to the Borie signature, to the philosophy of the house. 

2019 was a great year for Left Bank. Vinous Media blessed this vintage with a 95-97 Point review, where they say that "The 2019s combine the textural creaminess of the 2009s with the vibrancy of the 2010s."
