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 2019.

MILLESIME CLIMATOLOGY

While January began with very cool temperatures, the rest of the winter was marked by exceptionally warm weather, with high temperatures often exceeding 20°C. This mild weather led to an early budburst, which began at the end of March. Despite contrasting weather conditions in the spring, with regular rainfall, vine disease pressure was virtually non-existent. This good health situation can be explained by the dry winter, which did little to encourage the development of fungal diseases.2019 will be remembered by winegrowers as one of the hottest years of the decade. The hitherto fair weather changed radically from the end of June onwards. Vinification was easy, thanks to the quality of the raw materials, and the acidity/sugar ratio was good.

TASTING COMMENTS

Crimson color. The already expressive nose shows harmonious fruit complexity. The palate opens with a tight weave of fine tannins. Freshness is omnipresent, thanks to the combination of moderate alcohol and good acidity, and accompanies the wine to a surprisingly long finish.
