Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse 2016

With a vineyard located on the greatest Pauillac terroirs, Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse, located on the left bank of Bordeaux, is one of the prestigious appellation’s most beautiful properties. Founded in 1675, this 5th Cru Classé stands out by offering a precise definition of the Pauillac terroir due to its structure and incredible ageing potential.

Grape Varietals:  ~60% Cabernet Sauvignon, ~40% Merlot

Wine Region:  Pauillac, Bordeaux, France.

Tasting Notes: A deep garnet-purple color and a refined bouquet of cassis, blackcurrant, and dark plum with underlying cedar, bay leaf, forest floor and subtle charcoal nuances. On the palate it delivers medium- to full-bodied structure, ripe black fruit framed by firm, elegant tannins, with savory hints of tobacco and earth and a balanced, lingering finish — a wine that combines Pauillac power with finesse and impressive age-worthiness.

Food Pairing: Duck breast with a blackcurrant or red-wine reduction.
