“A wine that will delight Médoc purists... Complete and penetrating, it's a true classic, reminiscent of a modern-day version of Ducru's brilliant 1996”
Wine Advocate
 
“a drop dead gorgeous wine, and a Ducru for the ages. Superb.”
Antonio Galloni
 
“2021 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou might be the wine of the vintage. It has more depth and density than just about every other wine out there, all while still bringing beautiful tannins and elegance”
Jeb Dunnuck
