Think of Petit Ducru as a younger sibling with serious pedigree. Crafted by the team at Ducru-Beaucaillou—one of Saint-Julien’s most celebrated estates—this second wine blends fruit from both younger vines and select parcels not used in the grand vin. But don’t mistake it for an afterthought. In a cooler, more classical vintage like 2021, it hits a beautiful stride: elegant, lifted, and built around precision rather than power.

The hallmark Ducru polish is there—fine tannins, layered cassis, a graphite edge—but everything feels more open-knit and immediate. It’s a wine that speaks fluently in Left Bank dialect, yet doesn’t demand decades of cellaring to be understood. Pair with roasted lamb, duck confit, or even a perfectly made cheeseburger—this is Bordeaux with both breeding and approachability.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2021 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou, the estate's Merlot-based blend, is soft, fruity and charming, with notes of dark cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, mocha and dried herbs. Best of all, the Petit Ducru will drink well with minimal cellaring. Much of the Merlot is from vineyards that often go into the Grand Vin." -Antonio Galloni

Decanter

D 90
"So floral and aromatic, expressive and perfumed with sweet blackcurrant touches. Cool blue fruits; blueberries, plums and damsons, this is slightly sombre, dark and heady with a fresh minty-liquorice and crushed stone texture giving an appealing salinity.. This has a nice weight in the mouth - it’s filling but delicately presented with spiced nuances. Quite strict on the mid palate, some tension coming through though has good energy and nice overall polish." -Georgina Hindle

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"There is a high percentage of Merlot in this blend, giving softness with ripe blackberry fruits and a succulent character. The wine is pure black fruits and fresh acidity." -Roger Voss
