In a few words ...
Three large parcels located on the best terroirs of Pauillac form the vineyard of this 5th Cru Classé. Aged in barrels with 30 to 40% new wood, Grand Puy Ducasse wines offer great aromatic complexity and remarkable tannic structure, with excellent ageing potential. J. Suckling : 92-93/100
Powerful on all levels, this 2016 vintage is worth the detour!
