Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is a 5ème Grand Cru Classé de Pauillac spread across 40 hectares of scattered parcels, with soils ranging from Günzian and Garonne gravel over clay to podzolized clay in the southwest plots. Vine age averages 25 years, and the estate has held HVE3 certification since 2016, with an organic transition underway since 2014. Under the ownership of CA Grands Crus (Crédit Agricole group) since 2004.

The 2020 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, hand-harvested between September 15 and October 1 with both manual and optical sorting. Vinification involved a cold pre-fermentation maceration of around ten days followed by post-fermentation maceration at 30°C for approximately five days, with ageing carried out over 18 months in French oak at 35% new barrels.

Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2020 es un quinto Grand Cru Classé de la denominación Pauillac, en la región de Burdeos, Francia. Producido por la bodega Château Grand-Puy Ducasse, la propiedad pertenece al grupo CA Grands Crus (Crédit Agricole) desde 2004 y cuenta con una certificación de agricultura sostenible HVE3 desde 2016.

La finca posee 40 hectáreas de viñedos distribuidos en parcelas dispersas dentro de la appellation, con una edad media de la vid de 25 años. El suelo varía según la zona: predominan las gravas günzienses y garonnesas con un subsuelo arcilloso, mientras que los sectores suroeste presentan suelos podzolizados sobre arcilla, los cuales aportan frescura a las variedades plantadas.

La composición de la añada 2020 es un 60% de Cabernet Sauvignon y un 40% de Merlot. La vendimia se realizó a mano entre el 15 de septiembre y el 1 de octubre, aplicando una doble selección manual y óptica. El proceso de vinificación incluyó una maceración prefermentativa en frío de aproximadamente diez días, seguida de una maceración postfermentativa mantenida a 30 °C durante unos cinco días. El vino concluye su crianza en barrica francesa durante 18 meses, utilizando un 35% de madera nueva.

En cuanto a su valoración crítica, James Suckling le ha asignado 96 puntos. Se trata de un vino de estructura sólida, donde la mezcla de variedades y la diversidad de suelos buscan equilibrar la potencia del Cabernet con la frescura que aporta el Merlot en las parcelas más arcillosas.

Learn more about Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

Grand Puy is the name of a low gravel rise in Pauillac that once belonged entirely to a single estate. In 1675 Arnaud Ducasse bought a modest house there by the river, on land that came from the Segur family; in 1750 the lawyer Pierre Ducasse took parcels on that rise and left them his surname.

The rest of that estate went another way and is today's Grand-Puy-Lacoste, which kept changing name through the marriages of the owning family: in the mid-19th century it was called Saint-Guiron, and took its present name when a daughter married a man called François Lacoste. Both châteaux therefore come from the same divided hill.

In the 1855 classification it entered as a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac.

There are 40 hectares spread across some 60 parcels in three communes of the appellation, with eleven different soil types: Günzian and Garonne gravels over clay subsoil and, in the south-western sectors, podzolised soils over clay that bring freshness to the Merlot and Petit Verdot. The vines average 25 years.

It has belonged to CA Grands Crus, part of the Crédit Agricole group, since 2004, and Anne Le Naour directs the winemaking. They began converting to organic farming in 2014 and in 2016 certified HVE3 and ISO 14001.
