Tasting notes
The 2021 Madame De Beaucaillou is a little gem of a wine and has tons to love. Ripe black cherries, spice box, and savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, balanced, has terrific ripeness, and a great finish. Drink bottles any time over the coming decade.

Tobacco leaf, plums, cherries, and a hint of cocoa pop in the nose. Already quite tasty in your glass, the wine is soft, energetic, sweet and fresh, with ample cherries and a light, but, judicious touch of chocolate and spearmint in the finish. Drink from 2024-2031.
The 2021 Madame de Beaucaillou has a very competent, lush bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and touches of allspice. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of sour cherry on the entry, quite soft toward the finish, lending it a pleasing approachability.
The 2021 Madame de Beaucaillou is terrific. Bold and savory, with gorgeous fruit presence, the 2021 turned out beautifully. Crushed flowers, spice, mint and a touch of orange peel all grace this exquisite Haut-Médoc. This is a stellar wine from the Borie family.
