Falstaff May 2021

97 Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate lightening at the rim. Fine spice notes of cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, floral nuances, dark forest berries, a hint of licorice, very complex, inviting bouquet. Juicy, complex, delicate nuances of blackberries, blueberries, and a hint of nougat, ripe, silky tannins, great length and freshness, assured aging potential, light-footed and balanced. A classic modern claret.

Parker April 2023

95 The 2020 Ducru-Beaucaillou unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, violets and pipe tobacco, all framed by creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, with a deep but tightly wound core that's still quite wrapped up in extract and oak tannin, even if it isn't quite as big-boned as its 2019 counterpart. It will require some patience.

St. Julien

The smallest appellation among the Médoc’s most famous, covering just 900 hectares, may not boast a Premier Cru, but it is home to exceptional 2ème, 3ème, and 4ème Crus—the very best of which we proudly offer in our selection.

Anyone who has ever driven past the majestic Léoville estates might never want to leave. It is believed that in the 18th century, the stunning Léoville estate was the largest in all of Médoc before it was divided into the three renowned wineries we know today. Since the 1980sSt. Julien has offered unmatched consistency in quality, which we deeply admire. We equally appreciate its subtlety, balance, and strong sense of tradition.

There are many wines we love from St. Julien:

  • The 2ème Cru Château Léoville-Las Cases, known for its precise structure and complex aromas
  • Château Léoville-Poyferré, the most fruit-driven of the Léoville estates
  • Château Talbot, whose gentle wildness has always fascinated us.
