Producer

Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse

The 2017 is deliciously expressive with musk, spices, cedar and dark fruits and was matured 12 months in barrel with 30% new oak. It is a supple medium-bodied wine with a silky texture and layers of lingering sour cherry and balsamic flavours. A delight already, it is not yet at its zenith and will repay keeping. This is the second wine of fifth-growth Château Grand-Puy Ducasse. The estate’s vineyards are in three large parcels within the Pauillac Appellation with Prelude A made from grapes from younger vines. It is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
