This exceptional Médoc terroir is situated between the Gironde River to the east, the centre and the west of the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate owes its name to its “beautiful pebbles” (\"beaux cailloux\", in French) which, because of their high quartz content, make for soils that are poor in plant nutrients. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis an original expression of the terroirs of Ducru-Beaucaillou, a blend that is one of a kind.

This wine blends a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (around 60% each year), completed with Merlot Noir (35% to 37%) as well as a subtly spicy touch of Petit Verdot (3% to 5%). It is carefully aged for 12 months in barrels of which two-thirds are new each vintage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe wine offers an intense aromatic palette, revealing notes of ripe black fruit, cherry and blackcurrant, fresh menthol notes, lavender, licorice, and black spices, along with superb mineral notes of graphite and pencil lead.
