2023 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Saint-Julien (Pre-Arrival) Chardonnay polished tannins that emerge on95 97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck "As to the Grand Vin, the 2023 Chteau Ducru Beaucaillou brings everything up a level, offering a gorgeous perfume of crme de cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and crushed stone. This gives way to a medium to full bodied, pure, incredibly elegant Ducru that has ample mid palate depth, building tannins, and a great spine of acidity. Its another gorgeous wine from this chateau that plays in the style of the 2010, 2016, and 2020.
