La Croix De Beaucaillou 2009 Saint Julien is a supple, classically styled Saint-Julien second-label Bordeaux offering ripe dark-fruit concentration, refined tannins, and a savoury mineral thread that reflects its gravelly Medoc terroir.

Meet the producer

La Croix de Beaucaillou is produced by the same estate group as Château Ducru-Beaucaillou and represents a high-quality second label sourced from distinct vineyard parcels to the west of the château, crafted with attention to the estate’s terroir and style.

Production

The wine is vinified using traditional Bordeaux methods with careful extraction to balance fruit and structure; barrel élevage is used to integrate tannins and oak without dominating the fruit profile.

Tasting notes

Dense purple in colour with a creamy texture, the palate shows crème de cassis, blackberry and dark cherry framed by notes of charcoal, incense, spice and a mineral finish; the wine is round, generous and opulent while retaining savoury complexity.

Ageing potential

Drinking well now, the 2009 vintage was described as capable of medium- to long-term cellaring and can be enjoyed over 10–15 years or more depending on storage conditions.

Food match

Suited to grilled and roasted red meats, beef dishes, game and mature cheeses that can stand up to its ripe fruit and savoury structure.

Grape

Blend typically includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
