History of Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou

Ducru Beaucaillou is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine producing estates in the Medoc. History dates what we know of as Ducru Beaucaillou all the back to the start of the 13th century. Located in the appellation of Saint-Julien, Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou is named for the beautiful large stones and pebbles that cover the vineyard. In fact, the word Beaucaillou is translated into beautiful stones. These stones create ideal grape-growing conditions, as they aid in drainage, reflect sun onto the vines, and keep the ground from drying out. These conditions create the “typical” Saint-Julien wine – elegant and smooth, with a long finish. The outstanding structure of these wines gives them great aging potential as well.
