Château Ducla 2011 Experience White (Bordeaux Blanc)

  • Editors' Choice
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
This spicy wine is produced by the Mau family. It has an attractive cinnamon element, a touch of toast, and a concentrated texture that brings out a tropical fruit character. Rich and perfumed, this has a great note of ginger snap on the finish.  — R.V.  (2/1/2013)

Château Ducla 2005 Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)

  1. $15
There’s a great burst of ripe fruitiness with only a hint of dry Bordeaux tannins. There are great peppery red cherry flavors, berry acidity and spice from wood.  — R.V.  (11/1/2007)

Château Ducla 2005 White (Entre-Deux-Mers)

  1. $12
Owned by the Mau family, this estate situated just above the Garonne river south of Bordeaux, is home to an exciting range of red wines. The white is more standard fare, full, soft, with green plum flavors, but given a lift to finish by a touch of wood.  — R.V.  (11/1/2007)

Château Ducla 1998 Red

  1. $10
I know Bordeaux isn’t known for being fruit-driven, but this paucity of fruit in a wine that’s 50% Merlot (from a vintage that favored this variety’s development) is hard to fathom. Leather and old wood combine with earth and mushrooms. There’s decent weight and intensity here, so if these are flavors you look for this is an example to seek out.  — J.C.  (3/1/2001)
