From the team at Ducru-Beaucaillou, the 2016 Château Ducluzeau is possibly one of the finest Listracs produced in any vintage. This beauty offers a medium ruby color to go with a terrific perfume of sweet cherry and dark fruits that are supported by loads of leafy herbs, damp earth, and even hints of graphite. Shockingly deep, medium-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, with ripe tannins, it shines for its purity and nuance but offers serious intensity as well. It's a fabulous wine to drink over the coming 10-15 years.

Firm with dark tannins and rich fruit, this is a structured wine. It has a jammy backdrop of ripe Merlot that promises richness and ripe berry flavors to come. Drink from 2022.

Sleek in feel, with subtle red currant and cherry fruit flavors lined with mulling spice and sandalwood notes. Offers a mineral twinge on the focused finish. A pure, elegant style. Drink now through 2025. 5,000 cases made.
