Like all the wines in the Ducru-Beaucaillou stable, this is classic and polished, with 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot, aged in 70 % new oak for 12 months. It’s not really a second wine; since 2005, it has come from a specific vineyard parcel near Leoville-Barton. The name has recently been changed to La Croix de Ducru-Beaucaillou. Lush, dense, velvety, seductive and seamless, with great purity and mineral-toned, it has the profile of a much grander wine – and a label designed by Jade Jagger. The plump, lively, charming mostly merlot 2016 Château Lalande-Borie is a better value, but as of the 2019 vintage is renamed Le Petit Ducru and made from younger vines.
