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 | "A transparent and clear young Pauillac with blackcurrant, mushroom, chocolate, and wet earth. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful with fine, velvety tannins. Plenty of graphite and blue fruit at the end. Drink after 2027." - James Suckling "Full bottle 1,342 g. Certified HVE. Very dark, smoky, brooding and tannic. Charcoal, elderberries and bitter herbs. Lots of power packed into intensely compact tannins, like metamorphic rock in a glass. Layers and layers into black stone. Uncompromising, but wonderfully fresh. (TC)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Grand Puy Ducasse is elegant, polished and sophisticated, just as it was en primeur. Dark cherry, mocha, licorice and crushed rose petals are some of the many notes that open up. Medium in body, with terrific energy and tons of class, Grand Puy Ducasse is very pretty and especially refined in 2020." - Vinous "Flows wonderfully from the start, with an already accessible feel to the mix of cassis and dark blackberry notes inlaid with singed alder, warm paving stone, tobacco leaf and graphite accents that then carry the finish. In the end, there's no rush at all here. A pretty gorgeous Pauillac. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. " - Wine Spectator "Milk chocolate laced black fruits on the nose - smells deep and inviting. Smooth, round and full, clearly powerful and concentrated from the get go. The structure is quite tight, tannins are pronounced and grippy though plush not severe or edgy. They support the very ripe fruit - a sense of heat and high alcohol abounds but it manages to stay just the right side of too much giving a hefty wine with backbone, structure and lots of potential for ageing. Acidity is there underneath but you don't feel it so much above the ripe fruit and firm tannins. A massive and characterful wine here." - Decanter |
