Le Petit Ducru de Ducru Beaucaillou 2018 (1x75cl)

Le Petit Ducru is the second wine of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, one of St Julien's well-known second growths, made from younger vines and lots not selected for the grand vin. It's built on the same Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend, just in a slightly more approachable style.

A good entry point if you want a St Julien name on the table without the grand vin price tag.

Tasting notes

St Julien reds like this typically show blackcurrant and violet notes with a smooth, medium-bodied structure, usually more approachable young than the grand vin.
