【Feature】Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

This classified growth consists of three large vineyard plots grown on some of the finest terroir in Pauillac: the northern plot is a neighbour of Mouton and Lafite Rothschild, the central plot is located in a part of Grand-Puy, and the Southern plot is on the Saint-Lambert plateau. This unusual configuration was due to the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse.

Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse has entered a new phase of its history in recent vintages with a decided upswing in quality. This was largely thanks to a careful study of the potential of each individual plot. The vines are now trained higher and each different grape variety has been perfectly matched to the most suitable terroir. Ripe, healthy Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, coupled with rigorous production and ageing methods, account for Grand Puy Ducasse’s reputation for aromantic complexity, beautiful structure, and excellent ageing potential. It is the epitome of a fine Pauillac. The estate has been committed to adopting environmentally friendly practices since 2006 and has obtained HVE (High Environmental Value) certification.
