Well-packed, showing black currant and blackberry fruit flavors, which are marked by bramble and savory accents and carried by fresh acidity through a finish that's scored by humus, tobacco and iron. A textbook, austere, driven and age-worthy Pauillac. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2036. 8,000 cases made, 500 cases imported. — JM

The 2019 Grand-Puy-Ducasse exhibits aromas of raspberries, currants and fruit liqueur mingled with subtle hints of loamy soil and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and demonstrative, with an ample core of fruit, ripe tannins and lively acids and a finish subtly marked by alcoholic warmth, this is more elegant than its muscular, powerful 2018 predecessor; but it's held back by that touch of alcoholic heat. The new ambition that's animating this historically lackluster estate, however, is more than evident, and there are surely great things to come from this address.
Producer
Château Grand-Puy Ducasse
Planted across the best land in Pauillac, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse owns 40-hectares of vineyards consisting of three large plots bordering those of Mouton, Lafite and Pontet-Canet. The unusual scattered pattern of the property owes its brilliance to the estate’s founder Pierre Ducasse, a distinguished lawyer who pieced together this collection of lots with land he inherited or purchased in the 18th century. Currently under the ownership of a subsidiary of the Groupe Crédit Agricole, the CA Grands Crus company since 2004, the estate has entered a new phase, noted by the upswing in quality. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the famous 1855 ranking, the estate has now integrated certified sustainable farming and impeccable harvesting practices. Today, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse produces exemplary Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends made in the classic Pauillac style. Grand-Puy Ducasse, is a legendary fine wine, renowned for its aromatic complexity, glorious structure and ageing capacity.
