The estate remained in the family over the years until the 1855 Classification, in which it was classified as a Second Growth. The belt-tightening during the Depression and the Great War led to several sales of Ducru Beaucaillou, until in 1941 it finally fell into the hands of the Borie family in a miserable and dilapidated state. The family made great efforts to renovate and expand the estate, acquiring a significant plot of land from the neighbouring Château Lagrange. Their management was of great benefit to winemaking here, but it was not without its mishaps – in the 1980s, contamination of the cellar rendered some vintages undrinkable and damaged the château's reputation. These problems are now a thing of the past, and today the name Ducru Beaucaillou is synonymous with quality. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a Saint-Julien estate that is now one of the leading Super Seconds. It is owned by the Borie family and is located in the southeastern part of the Saint-Julien appellation. Ducru-Beaucaillou's 50 hectares of vineyards (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot) are located on large-stone gravel layers, enriched with alluvial soil deposits and with a high clay content. The wines are aged in oak barrels (50-60% new) for 18 months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIDA Wine and Spirits Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57462727901566,"sku":"B01022832","price":352.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/3766\/8990\/files\/Chateau-Ducru-Beaucaillou-Saint-Julien-2_D0_9Ame-Cru-Classe-1990-1000x1000-1-1.png?v=1779789395","url":"https:\/\/www.vida.bg\/en\/products\/chateau-ducru-beaucaillou-2eme-cru-classe-1990-0-75","provider":"VIDA Wine and Spirits Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
