Tasting notes
The colour is very concentrated in tones of purple violet. The nose is impressive by its
complexity and intensity: charming notes of black current, red fruits, enhanced by a slight
touch of vanilla and flowers.In the mouth, the attack is rich with silky and elegant tannins.
The finish is long and fruity.
The Ducru Beaucaillou 2000 is racy and elegant, it is a rich, full-bodied and complex wine with a wonderful finesse of the fruit.

Vintage
The winter was mild with very little rain. April and May were warm and moderately rainy.
In June, the weather improved but the real summer only came mid-July. Although from then
the grapes ripened gently and slowly.
The very dry climate of August and September was very beneficial to the concentration and improved the maturity of the grapes.
The sanitary state at the eve of the harvest was good: very good phenolic maturity and a strong anthocyan concentration. The harvest began September 24th and ended October 7th.
