Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

The location of Château Grand Puy Ducasse is very special, as it offers the unique feature of being entirely urban, right in the heart of Pauillac and facing the Gironde.

Archives reveal its existence in the 17th century, and its owner at the time added his name Ducasse.

Grand Puy Ducasse is divided into three parts: one part neighbors the Mouton-Rothschild and Lafite-Rothschild vineyards, another part is located at the very place of Grand Puy from which it takes its name, and finally another part on the St Lambert plateau along the Gironde estuary.

This Château covers an area of 40 hectares consisting of siliceous-gravelly soil and subsoil and Garonne gravel, with vines of an average age of 25 years.

Varietal composition: cabernet sauvignon 60%, merlot noir 40%.

Annual production is in the order of 160 to 170 barrels, or 200 to 210,000 bottles.

All harvesting is done by hand and the wine is aged in new barrels in the proportion of 30 to 40%, depending on the vintage for 12 to 16 months before bottling.

Description Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2016.

Grand Vin de Pauillac, Château Grand Puy Ducasse is planted on an exceptional terroir. The vines, which are around fifty years old, give the wine a refined character as well as a racy style. La robe is dark and the bouquet complex. Notes of black fruit, sweet spices and cedar come together. The palate is voluminous and sustained by fermenting tannins that will develop a lovely patina over time. The balance is achieved with a little liveliness in the mid-palate that supports the whole. The finish is fruity and persistent.
