Château Ducru Beaucaillou is named after the beautiful, large stones found in its unique wine-growing terroir. This exceptional ecosystem produce fine, elegant, tasty wines, with a long finish – in short, archetypal St Julien wines.

Perched on an exceptional site with incomparable views over the Gironde estuary, in the centre of a hundred year old park, Ducru Beaucaillou is a majestic, Victorian style castle, which has, over time, become one of the great symbols of the Médoc.

Unusually for Bordeaux, it is built directly over the barrel cellars, enveloping its owners, who have lived there for over sixty years, in the sumptuous aromas of their wine.

Today, the estate is managed by the company Jean Eugène Borie SA, which is owned by Mrs Borie, her daughter Sabine Coiffe and her son Bruno-Eugène, CEO since 2003, the third generation of the Borie family to head the estate.

There are very close links between the estate and the five families who have been its successive owners.
