The Press
'I don’t know where else you would get a mature wine of this quality and vintage for this price.' —Simon Hoggart, The SpectatorOur tasting notes
Deep and well structured with a ripe, mature, Merlot nose. Good mineral flavours with hints of spice, soy and blackurrants. Chewy with good length which gives it further aging potential although it is just about at its peak maturity now.Wine data

About Château Ducluzeau
The vineyards are only 4.9 ha in size and are situated on the Listrac gravel plateau in the Médoc. Harvesting is entirely by hand from vines that have an average age of 40 years+. The wine spends 14-18 months in French oak barrels of which at least 40% are new. Everything is run to the same exacting high standards as are practiced at Château Ducru Beaucaillou.
