Ducru-Beaucaillou

All three of our wines [Ducru, Grand Puy Lacoste and Haut-Batailley] came from small crops of fully ripe grapes," Francois-Xavier Borie told me. The wind and cool nights in September suppressed the rot and were perfect for the maturation of the cabernet sauvignon. "We kept the fermentation temperatures down and did very little pumping over of the musts," said Borie. "The tannins practically extracted themselves. The 2002s feature very high tannin levels but they will be round wines."
