The 2020 Le Petit Ducru is a classy claret with real depth and charm, full of dark berry fruit, well-balanced acidity and suave tannins. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (with a touch of Petit Verdot in some vintages), it’s aged for 12 months in oak (one-third new), and made with the same rigorous attention to detail as the estate’s grands vins.
This is the newest member of the Ducru-Beaucaillou family — a beautifully crafted introduction to the estate's signature style. Sourced from Ducru-Beaucaillou’s vineyards in Saint-Julien, the 2020 it offers a glimpse into the elegance, structure, and elan that define its elder siblings, Ducru-Beaucaillou and La Croix.
In short, it’s a seriously good bottle for fans of classic Bordeaux — with all the hallmarks of Ducru, just in a more accessible and earlier-drinking package.

What the critics say:
"A linear, creamy-textured red with blackcurrant, light walnut and a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied with an attractive center palate and a round finish. 78% merlot and 18% cabernet, the rest petit verdot."
