Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1996 - Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou - 750 ml.

The 1996 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the benchmark wines of the legendary 1996 Bordeaux vintage and a classic expression of Saint-Julien at its finest. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals an elegant bouquet of black currant, cedar, cigar box, graphite, violet, and crushed stone. Nearly three decades of bottle age have added layers of leather, tobacco, and earthy complexity while preserving its vibrant structure and refined tannins. Powerful yet impeccably balanced, this cellar-worthy Second Growth continues to drink beautifully today and remains one of the most sought-after and collectible wines from the celebrated 1996 vintage.
