Le Petit Caillou 2016, crafted by the prestigious Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, is a refined second-label wine from the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, it captures the estate’s signature elegance in a more approachable style. The 2016 vintage offers a deep garnet hue and aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar, and wild herbs. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with ripe black fruit, supple tannins, and fresh acidity, accented by hints of violet and spice. Structured yet inviting, it’s an excellent introduction to the finesse of Left Bank Bordeaux, ideal for pairing with roasted meats or fine cheeses.
