Sourced from specific plots of the estate\u2019s 'beautiful pebbles' terroir, the wine is intentionally blended to be more approachable in its youth, often featuring a higher proportion of Merlot than the Grand Vin, while still benefiting from 12 months in 60% new French oak. This is a serious, structured wine that critics consider to be of Classified Growth quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Expert Tasting Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>**Appearance:** Rich, deep carmine-violet.<\/li>\n<li>**Aromatics:** Intense, with classic Saint-Julien notes of cassis and blackberry, underpinned by sophisticated layers of smoked oak, liquorice, and graphite.<\/li>\n<li>**Mouthfeel:** Full-bodied, yet incredibly elegant and sculpted. The tannins are fine, chalky, and silky, leading to a long, powerful finish with a signature freshness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving Suggestion<\/h2>\n<p>A true connoisseur's choice, this M\u00e9doc requires a hearty, rich dish to truly shine. Best served at 17-18\u00b0C (63-64\u00b0F) after a brief decanting.<\/p>\n<p>Saint-Julien 2017<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/winetorres.com\/en\/?s=Ch\u00e2teau%20Ducru-Beaucaillou&#038;post_type=product\">Find other wines from this producer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second vin embl\u00e9matique du Ch\u00e2teau Ducru-Beaucaillou, ce Saint-Julien est une p\u00e9pite d&#8217;\u00e9l\u00e9gance et de structure.
