Cedar, black currants, elderberries and touches of mint, eucalyptus and bark create a focused, expressive nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, tight and precise, with evenly distributed dark fruit framed by fine, defined tannins that add focus and tension in the finish. Better from 2028.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation Saint Julien

Saint-Julien, a revered appellation in Bordeaux's Left Bank, epitomizes the finesse and elegance of red Bordeaux wines.

The 2023 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou has come together so well with élevage. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, gravel, incense, scorched earth and licorice convey a palpable feeling of gravitas. Today, the Petit Ducru is rather dark and almost somber in bearing.

Perfumed and open on the nose with blueberries, blue cherries, really fruit forward and almost opulent aromatics. Fragrant and scented. Quite tangy, a burst of just ripe red berry fruit with a liquorice and clove grip, some clear blueberry juice. Straight and focused, not so juicy or plush but well constructed. High acidity. 89 IPT, 3.73pH. Ageing 12 months, 30% new oak.

A blend of 62% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2023 Le Petit Ducru De Ducru-Beaucaillou brings another level of finesse as well as density. Cassis, graphite, violets, and floral notes all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and outstanding length. Drink 2026-2038.

88-90 The 2023 Le Petit Ducru is deep garnet-purple in color. It springs from the glass with vibrant notes of fresh plums, boysenberries, and black raspberries leading to hints of menthol, cinnamon stick, and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is soft textured, delivering refreshingly crunchy black fruits with great tension and a red berry lift on the finish. The blend is 72% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. This has morphed into a third wine of Ducru Beaucaillou, made from younger vines and declassified fruit.

Winery Notes

From 2019 vintage Lalande-Borie has been re labeled as Petit Ducru and becoming Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou third wine.
