Château Beauregard Ducasse
Graves
Jacques Perromat’s sixth generation family estate lies at Mazères near Langon at the southern end of the Graves, with about 50 hectares of gravelly vineyards on limestone sub-soils hacked out of the surrounding forest from 1850.
This is as far removed - and not just in distance - from the grand estates of the Haut-Médoc as possible: here the...

Château Beauregard Ducasse, Cuvée Albert Duran, Graves, 2020
"Deep garnet. Fragrant with both fresh fruit – cassis and blueberry – and the the very beginning of tertiary notes of bottle age, a sort of woodsy note (not oaky). A hint of lead pencils. A point somewhere between floral and lead pencil. Very smooth, slightly thick tannins, almost leathery, gently chewy and all in balance. The alcohol is on the high side but not intrusive. I’d definitely prefer to drink this slightly cool (but not chilled). Still has lots of youthful fruit but you could enjoy it now at the table with white or red meat." 16.5/20. Drink 2025–2032, Julia Harding MW, www.jancisrobinson.com, 20th November 2025
The top red from a 7th generation estate in the south of the Graves region – and the best vintage we have shipped (having started with the 2006).Terrific claret made with 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. Refined, cigar-box perfume. Open, black-fruited attack; so aromatically expressive, with a richly textured depth of black (and a little red) fruit flavours enlivened by secondary hints of smoke, dark liquorice and Christmas spice. This punches far, far above its price. Now-2028
