Prelude A Grand-Puy Ducasse AOC Pauillac, 2017
Lot
2573
Grape Variety
Merlot
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.
