92/100 – The 2019 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou is plush, creamy and open-knit, all of which give it considerable immediacy, not to mention tons of charm. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha and licorice lend nuance in this racy, Merlot-based blend. The Petit Ducru is a new wine meant to be the third selection from the château. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

90/100 – Notes of blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and violets introduce the 2019 Le Petit Ducru, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and sensual wine that’s lively and concentrated, its ample core of fruit largely concealing an abundance of ripe, powdery tannin. It’s a Merlot-based blend that includes declassified lots of La Croix and Ducru-Beaucaillou itself. – William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
