2016 was one of the last vintages that the famed Ducru-Beaucaillou made Le Petit Caillou, and the growing season was simply superb. Le Petit Caillou shows rich aromas of black cherry and plum, accented by cedar, wild herbs, and cocoa powder. The palate is ripe and chewy, with grainy, slightly gritty tannins supporting the medium-bodied structure. Open-knit and approachable, with juicy black fruit and nuances of violets, licorice, and cedar.
