La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien 2018
£84.99
La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou 2018 is a refined and powerful Bordeaux red from the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation, produced by the renowned Ducru-Beaucaillou estate. Often considered a standalone cuvée rather than simply a second wine, it expresses exceptional terroir with remarkable depth and elegance. The 2018 vintage is rich, concentrated and beautifully structured, showcasing the finesse and balance typical of top Left Bank Bordeaux wines.

The History of islington Wines
Islington Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Islington Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest winemaking.
Every detail of Islington Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Islington Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
