Grand Puy Ducasse 5 ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2018

Grand Puy Ducasse 2018 is a classic Pauillac from one of the Left Bank’s historic Fifth Growth estates, offering the structure, depth, and Cabernet-driven character collectors look for in the appellation. Sourced from Bordeaux’s prestigious Médoc region, it combines elegance with age-worthy power in a style that reflects both tradition and the finesse of the 2018 vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with youthful intensity and dark-fruit concentration. Expect aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite, with subtle hints of spice and pencil shavings as it opens. The palate is firm and layered, with ripe cassis and dark plum supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. A Pauillac of this pedigree is built for cellaring, and the 2018 vintage should continue to gain complexity over the next decade or more, developing more savoury, earthy nuances with time.

Production
Grand Puy Ducasse is located in Pauillac on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, where gravel-rich soils and proximity to the Gironde help Cabernet Sauvignon achieve full ripeness and classic mineral precision. The estate’s vineyards benefit from the region’s tempering maritime climate, while vinification typically emphasizes parcel selection and careful extraction to preserve structure, purity, and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled entrecôte, beef Wellington, duck breast, and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours when young to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
