Château Grand-Puy Ducasse Prelude a Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac (750ml)

This wine has a beautiful ruby red colour with dark reflections. The nose is fruity and slightly spicy revealing touches of black fruits. The mouth, greedy, recalls the intensity of the fruit revealed by the nose. Soft tannins sign an elegant and racy finish. After the manual harvest in crates and a first sorting in the vineyard, the grapes are sorted again using a latest-generation optical sorting device. Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Part of the batches undergo malolactic fermentation in new barrels. The whole of the second wine is aged in French oak barrels, 15% of which are new.

About the Producer:
Three large plots of land located on the best terroirs of Pauillac form the vineyard of Château Grand-Puy-Ducasse, Grand Cru Classé. The history of the Château begins when Arnaud Ducasse bought in the middle of the seventeenth century to Jacques de Ségur, Lord of Lafite, his little house on the edge of the river Pauillac, and he couldn’t imagine that it would become the foundation of a large estate that would remain in his family for nearly three centuries.
