The wines of La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou come from the vineyard of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. This exceptional terroir of the Medoc is located between the river Gironde to the east, the center and the west of the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate takes its name from its "beautiful pebbles" ("beaux cailloux", in French) which, due to their high quartz content, provide soils that are poor in plant nutrients.
