"Wonderfully sophisticated, with tremendous freshness and energy. It's the epitome of class, according to Vinous!"

“A superb success with no missteps: the 2019 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse stands out for its rich and concentrated style, with a body ranging from medium to full, while reflecting the intrinsic elegance and richness of the vintage. Its bouquet reveals notes of ripe blackcurrant, toasted spices, cedarwood, and tobacco; both in its aromatic profile and its structure, it embodies the quintessence of Pauillac. While it’s already a great pleasure to drink—especially after decanting, as I discovered while tasting this bottle over several days—it will undoubtedly benefit from aging for 5 to 7 years in the cellar and will continue to shine for at least two decades. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2022) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

This vintage is made from several plots spread throughout the appellation. One of these, located in the Grand Puy area, gave the wine its name and produces the most refined component of the blend, which has matured beautifully under the guidance of the highly skilled Anne Le Naour. There is still room for improvement, which will be made possible by the imminent construction of a new fermentation tank, allowing for precise plot-by-plot selections and even more meticulous aging.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Built primarily in the 18th century by attorney Arnaud Ducasse, the estate took on its current name in 1932. The château, which overlooks the Gironde River, dates back to 1820. Three large plots of gravelly soil make up this 40-hectare vineyard, which has been owned by CA Grands Crus (part of the Crédit Agricole group) since 2004.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Like Meyney, Grand-Puy Ducasse is owned by a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole (CA Grands Crus). While we were somewhat disappointed by certain vintages from the early 2000s—which clearly fell short of the standard of a good cru classé—things are changing: the estate’s stated ambition is to produce a wine worthy of its status. Anne Le Naour, who manages the estate and oversees winemaking, is gradually adding the refinement that the wine often lacked. Since 2015, progress has been steady.

About the wine:

Barrel sample. From one of Pauillac’s lesser-known classified growths, this wine displays great structure as well as ripe blackcurrant fruit from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Its succulent fruitiness also shines through, hinting at a bright future.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

Grand-Puy Ducasse 2019 is the epitome of class. Just as it was in the barrel, Grand-Puy Ducasse possesses tremendous freshness and energy, rather than the heavy, extract-driven style that was the norm just a few years ago. Readers will find a Pauillac with tremendous transparency and an abundance of pure class. The 2019 is wonderfully sophisticated in every way. I loved it. 2027–2044

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Recommended

About the wine:

Blackcurrant and walnut with subtle hints of berries and cherries. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The linear, intense tannins run the length of the wine with intensity and persistence. Best enjoyed after 2026.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

A subtle, predominantly floral profile—followed by notes of very ripe blueberries and blackcurrants—lies beneath a sumptuous, velvety carmine hue. The rich, indulgent attack is quickly balanced by a tannic structure as grand as a cathedral, exuding freshness from start to finish. There are certainly plenty of tannins, but they are very fine-grained; the wine as a whole demonstrates remarkable mastery of both the harvest and the winemaking process.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

With each new vintage, Grand-Puy Ducasse gains in depth and in its ability to reveal subtle nuances. We are clearly in a phase of fine-tuning now; the bulk of the work is done, and it is the details that present the challenges to be addressed; the path has been laid out. The bouquet of the 2019 stands out for its finesse and complexity. It reveals multiple nuances of graphite, tea leaves, and licorice. These are followed by a hint of eucalyptus, quickly giving way to notes of blackcurrant. The wine is dense and features fine-grained tannins. This is precisely where there has been a major leap forward since 2016—in the finesse of the tannins. The wine combines freshness, power, and elegance. The profile of a great wine is taking shape and being confirmed. 2026–2044
