    Product description

    An exceptional terroir, neighbouring Mouton, Lafite, and Pontet-Canet. One of the oldest second wines, created in 1955. Hand-harvested with careful sorting in the vineyards and for a second time at the sorting table. Each batch is vinified separately: total destemming, light crushing, and vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. After blending, ageing extends from 18 to 24 months in barrels (30 to 40% new wood). This wine is made to be enjoyed earlier than the Grand Vin. Expect aromas of redcurrant and dark chocolate alongside savoury notes. Full-bodied with supple tannins.

    About the producer: Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

The estate used to be part of a larger Domaine in the Middle Ages, which also included Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Today, the Borie family owns and operates the winery which has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability and has received numerous awards and accolades over the years. The vineyards span 40 hectares and are primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. A grand vin and a second wine, Prelude, are produced.
