Château Ducluzeau
シャトー・デュクルゾー
Elegant, Merlot-dominant Listrac-Médoc with classic charm.
Located in the Listrac-Médoc appellation, Château Ducluzeau has been under the stewardship of the Borie family since 1740. The estate is distinguished by its unique focus on Merlot, which dominates the blend (often around 95%) due to the specific clay-limestone and gravel soils of its plateau vineyards. This high proportion of Merlot imparts a signature elegance, suppleness, and feminine charm to the wine, setting it apart from the more Cabernet-heavy profiles typical of the Médoc. The wines are known for their deep purple color, aromatic complexity featuring black fruits and floral notes, and a polished, approachable structure that offers excellent value and classic Bordeaux character.
