This estate, whose chateau is on the Gironde estuary front in Pauillac, is a solid, tannic wine. Its Cabernet Sauvignon brings out black-currant fruits and shows fine potential. It is a wine for aging, drink from 2027.

Rated 93 Points James Suckling
Fresh and precise nose showing red currants, subtle chili chocolate, mineral and a drizzle of white pepper. More elegant and refined than being dense and compact. Tannins are still firm and vertical on the medium-bodied palate with a subtle finish of very good length.

The 2021 Grand-Puy Ducasse turned out well. Dark red cherry, scorched earth, plum, leather, tobacco and dried herbs stain the palate with intensity. This is an especially savory vintage for Grand-Puy Ducasse. The 2021 is marked by strong Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness and firm tannins that need to soften. Tasted two times. –Antonio Galloni
