2006 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou
The 2006 vintage of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a particularly exceptional expression of the estate’s commitment to quality, showcasing the unique characteristics of both the terroir and the winemaking philosophy. This vintage was marked by a cool and rainy spring, followed by a hot and dry summer that allowed the vines to recover and ripen the grapes to perfection. The balance between the weather conditions and the careful attention to the vineyard allowed for optimal ripeness, contributing to the wine's richness, complexity, and aging potential. The 2006 vintage was predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, which thrived in the gravelly soils of the estate, lending the wine its deep color, tannic structure, and notes of blackcurrant and dark fruit. The Merlot, which adds roundness and plushness, also performed exceptionally well, offering softer textures and contributing to the wine’s approachable balance. In the cellar, the wine was aged in French oak barrels, which imparted a subtle complexity and added hints of spice and toast. This careful handling of the 2006 vintage resulted in a wine with both power and elegance, showcasing the estate’s ability to produce wines that are age-worthy, while also expressing the refined qualities of the Saint-Julien terroir. As with all wines from Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, the 2006 vintage reflects the estate's dedication to quality, with an ideal combination of terroir, climate, and winemaking expertise that ensures its place as one of Bordeaux’s finest. This vintage is expected to continue evolving gracefully over time, offering layers of complexity as it ages, a hallmark of the château’s prestigious wine production.

2020 Chateau Cos D' Estournel
Separated from Château Lafite only by little more than a stream, Super Second Growth Château Cos d’Estournel is one of the most exceptional wines in the St-Estèphe appellation. It came to prominence when Louis Gaspard-d’Estournel took ownership in the 19th century and through his interest in the overseas market and love of adventure, brought it to the attention of British royalty, the Tsar of Russia and customers in the Far East. British Army Officers stationed in India were enjoying Cos d’Estournel in the mid-1800s. Louis, known as the ‘Maharajah de St-Estèphe’ built the fascinating oriental-style pagodas and infused the château and winery with an eclectic mix of styles and influences. Renowned for its pedigree, the wines are sumptuous, full-bodied, dark and brooding when young, which go on to develop a complexity and intensity that can, and most often do rival the top estates from Pauillac, including the venerable first growths
