Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 91
Rich aromas of cassis, licorice, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and creamy new oak introduce Bruno Borie’s 2019 La Croix de Beaucaillou, a full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that’s rich and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit and plenty of fine, chalky tannin. Like for example Clos du Marquis and Les Forts de Latour, La Croix de Beaucaillou isn’t a second wine per se, but rather a cuvee produced from dedicated parcels. [William Kelley, 10/03/2022]
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045
Vinous 92
The 2019 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is a powerful, explosive wine. Black cherry, chocolate, leather and licorice flow effortlessly across the palate, lifted by pretty floral notes that appear with air. Fleshy, dark and beautifully resonant, La Croix has a ton to offer. [Antonio Galloni, 23/02/2022]
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2039
