La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou - Saint Julien - 2010

Saint - Julien is located between the Margaux and Pauillac appellations on the Le Bank of the Gironde. There tend to be two main styles of wine: in the southern part of Saint - Julien the wines tend to be more ‘Margaux like’ (smooth and feminine), and in the north they are more powerful and sturdy. As for grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon is king in this commune with Merlot and the other classic Bordeaux varieties blended in for smoothness and complexity.
