This lot comprises an original wooden case with three magnum bottles of 2010 vintage Château Ducru-Beaucaillou from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.

Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.

The 2010 vintage Château Ducru-Beaucaillou was rated over 98 points by Robert Parker in 2013. The wine was rated 97 points by Wine Spectator in same year. The wine was rated 19 of 20 points by René Gabriel.

The fill levels are excellent (high fill). The labels, capsules and original wooden case are in perfect condition.
