Le Petit Ducru Beaucaillou 2025

The 2025 Le Petit Ducru offers gorgeous up-front fruit and terrific energy to play off the natural richness of the year. Dark red ch erry/plum fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and dried herbs all run through this Merlot-driven Saint-Julien. Medium in body and quite svelte, the Petit Ducru is an absolute delight. Drinking window: 2028-2040. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
