    Fresh and precise nose showing red currants, subtle chili chocolate, mineral and a drizzle of white pepper. More elegant and refined than being dense and compact. Tannins are still firm and vertical on the medium-bodied palate with a subtle finish of very good length.
  • 92
    Tannins are to the fore here, quite present and mouthfilling, plumping up the layers of wild strawberry and creamy bramble fruit flavours which also have a salinity that is amplified by the mouthwatering and high, racy acidity. This is serious and on the confident side, providing a full mouthfeel that others have struggled with in 2021. No angles and no let up. This will be great to taste once in bottle.

    The 2021 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse showed reasonably well, although it's a touch hollow on the mid-palate, which is a common fault in this vintage. Offering solid notes of blue fruits, iron, lead pencil, and spicy wood, it's medium-bodied, has focused, firm yet quality tannins, and a good finish. It will be interesting to see where this ends up once in bottle. It's certainly good. Barrel Sample : 89-91

Chateau Grand-Puy-Ducasse, France
Chateau Grand-Puy-Ducasse Winery Image
Arnaud Ducasse purchased a small house along the Gironde estuary from Jacques de Ségur, Lord of Lafite, in the mid-17th century. He could not have known that this would become the heart of a large estate that would stay in his family for nearly three centuries.

The estate's true "inventor" was Pierre Ducasse, a lawyer who was passionately interested in wine. He bought land in the city of Pauillac and a part of the "bordieu de Grand-Puy", which spread out over three parishes (Pauillac, Saint Lambert and Beycheville). Pierre Ducasse's son built the current chateau on the site of his ancestors' house in the early 19th century.

This chateau is highly unusual in that it is located in the heart of Pauillac. Included in the famous 1855 classification, and benefiting from the rich diversity of some of the finest vineyard land in Pauillac, Grand-Puy Ducasse is one of the leaders of this appellation. This great wine is made with the utmost care and the most up-to-date technological methods.
