La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou 2016

La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is an original expression of the terroirs of Ducru-Beaucaillou, a blend that is one of a kind. A high-flying wine that perfectly expresses its exceptional terroir. This wine blends a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (around 60% each year), completed with Merlot (35% to 37%) as well as a subtly spicy touch of Petit Verdot (3% to 5%). Powerful, silky, very aromatic, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou beguiles with its bouquet, its balance, its remarkable finesse and its lengthy finish. A great cuvée that stimulates, then captivates the senses; it is the perfect introduction to the Borie signature.
