Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou 2020
The 2020 Le Petit Ducru is a classy claret with real depth and charm, full of dark berry fruit, well-balanced acidity and suave tannins. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (with a touch of Petit Verdot in some vintages), it’s aged for 12 months in oak (one-third new), and made with the same rigorous attention to detail as the estate’s grands vins. This is the newest member of the Ducru-Beaucaillou family — a beautifully crafted introduction to the estate's signature style. Sourced from Ducru-Beaucaillou’s vineyards in Saint-Julien, the 2020 it offers a glimpse into the elegance, structure, and elan that define its elder siblings, Ducru-Beaucaillou and La Croix. In short, it’s a seriously good bottle for fans of classic Bordeaux — with all the hallmarks of Ducru, just in a more accessible and earlier-drinking package.
Chateau Marjosse Cuvee Les Truffiers 2018
'With the Charmille, Canton du Loup and Truffiers cuvees, we wanted to highlight our different terroirs through the emblematic grape variety of the right bank: Merlot. Each of these cuvees corresponds to a place, a climate, a type of soil. Like the different color palettes available to a painter, the tasting of this triptych allows us to highlight the many assets of Marjosse. Truffiers takes root on the thinnest soils of Marjosse, where the clay layer is sometimes so thin that the limestone bedrock outcrops. The wines obtained are of great concentration, and their dark robe reminds one of the mysterious black diamond.' - Chateau Marjosse
