Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse Pauillac 2022

Grape Variety 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot.

Château Grand-Puy Ducasse’s story began when Arnaud Ducasse bought a “modest“ house on the banks of the river in Pauillac in 1675. Little did he know that it would become a large estate that would remain in his family for almost three centuries. Pierre Ducasse, a lawyer with a passion for wine, considerably extended the land over three parishes - Pauillac, Saint-Lambert and Saint-Sauveur - and three seigneuries: Lafite, Latour and Beychevelle. In 1820, his son built the Château’s winery facing the Gironde estuary. At the time, this was a daring decision: Grand-Puy Ducasse would be the only Château in the area to vinify its grapes for 200 years. In 1855, the property was included in the prestigious classification of great growths; with 40 hectares of vines spread over 11 different types of soil, its vineyard can be considered as the most representative of the diversity of Pauillac’s terroirs.

Tasting Notes: This is a great showing for an ambitious estate in Pauillac, that's undergone significant investment, and is owned by the same proprietors of Château Meyney in St-Estèphe. This vintage at Grand-Puy-Ducasse is fresh on the nose, with spicy, savoury aromas around a core of pure, fresh blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Good concentration but refreshing and gourmand in style. There's also good balance with the more savoury style of the tannins, mineral graphite quality and well-proportioned freshness. The finish builds and is clean, long, with balanced black fruit freshness and mineral hints.
