Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou 2018
£59.99
Le Petit Ducru is the second wine of the illustrious Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, one of Saint-Julien's most celebrated 2ème Grand Cru Classé estates. It was introduced to offer a more accessible, earlier drinking expression of the Grand Vin, reflecting the same meticulous winemaking philosophy with fruit forward generosity and silky structure.
The 2018 vintage, marked by richness and concentration, delivers a supple yet powerful wine. One UK merchant lists the blend as 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 40% new oak, and describes a creamy textured red with firm tannins and a mineral finish.
For Bordeaux fans in Chiswick, you can buy Le Petit Ducru 2018 from Chiswick Wine.
