One of the most beautiful estates in this prestigious, Pauillac appellation, known for great structure and the ability to age gracefully.
Nestled in the heart of Pauillac’s finest terroirs, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is one of the most esteemed estates on Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Established in 1675, this 5th Grand Cru Classé has earned a distinguished reputation for its elegantly structured, long-lived wines—a true reflection of Pauillac’s exceptional terroir.
Painstakingly assembled in the 18th century by Pierre Ducasse, a visionary lawyer and wine enthusiast, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse spans 40 hectares across three prime vineyard plots. The vines thrive in Garonne gravel and silica-gravelly soils, which impart depth, complexity, and age-worthy character to the wines.
The 2014 growing season presented challenges, with a rainy spring and lackluster summer conditions. However, an exceptionally warm Indian summer through October allowed the grapes to reach optimal ripeness, resulting in a vintage of remarkable quality—balancing richness, finesse, and the unmistakable identity of Pauillac.
91/100 James Suckling
"The forthright cassis note is immediately appealing, then the rather bold tannic structure sneaks up on you and shows that this is a serious wine. Maybe not quite the power and length of the appellation’s top wines in 2014, but still an impressive wine"
92/100 Wine Enthusiast
"For the vintage, this is a particularly rich wine. It is structured and firm with opulent black-plum fruit that gives the wine a ripe character. Dense with supporting tannins, the wine is going to develop well over the medium term"
