Over het wijnhuis | Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is een 5ème Cru Classé in Pauillac. Het landgoed heeft beroemde buren. De wijngaarden grenzen aan die van Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Lafite Rothschild en Château Pontet-Canet in het noorden. Het landgoed ligt echter aan de monding van de Gironde, wat Château Grand-Puy Ducasse één van de weinige huizen maakt waarvan het château zich niet in de wijngaarden bevindt. |

Awards | "The 2019 Grand-Puy-Ducasse exhibits aromas of raspberries, currants and fruit liqueur mingled with subtle hints of loamy soil and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and demonstrative, with an ample core of fruit, ripe tannins and lively acids and a finish subtly marked by alcoholic warmth, this is more elegant than its muscular, powerful 2018 predecessor; but it's held back by that touch of alcoholic heat. The new ambition that's animating this historically lackluster estate, however, is more than evident, and there are surely great things to come from this address." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Blackcurrants and walnuts with sweet berry and cherry undertones. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Linear and intense tannins run the length of the wine with intensity and persistence. Try after 2026." - James Suckling "53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot. Black core. More subtle in aroma than the Croizet-Bages. The texture more refined at first but the tannins build to become big and dense. Black-fruited and so savoury the fruit almost disappears on the finish. Stay away for at least 10 years even if there is balance here. Massive tannins but in harmony. Just." - Jancis Robinson "The 2019 Grand Puy Ducasse is class personified. Just as in barrel, from bottle Grand-Puy Ducasse possesses terrific freshness and energy in place of the heavy, extracted style that was the norm just a few years ago. Readers will find a Pauillac endowed with tons of transparency and tons of sheer class. The 2019 is wonderfully sophisticated in every way. I loved it." - Vinous "94–96. Barrel Sample. From one of the lesser-known Pauillac crus classés, this wine shows plenty of fine structure as well as ripe black currant fruits from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. It is also the succulent fruitiness that shines, lending to a good future. " - Wine Enthusiast "Expressive and richly fruited on the nose. Dark in profile on the nose and palate. Plush tannins, but soft, they completely grip the mouth with coffee bean, dark chocolate, tobacco and spicy elements. It's a particular style for sure with strong liquorice nuances on the finish. This will find a lot of fans - all in balance with a long life ahead. Drinking Window 2023 - 2035" - Decanter "Well-packed, showing black currant and blackberry fruit flavors, which are marked by bramble and savory accents and carried by fresh acidity through a finish that's scored by humus, tobacco and iron. A textbook, austere, driven and age-worthy Pauillac. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2036. " - Wine Spectator |
