A fifth-growth Pauillac that has quietly become one of the appellation's best arguments for looking past the famous names. Grand-Puy Ducasse holds an unusual hand: instead of one contiguous vineyard, its plots are scattered across some of Pauillac's best gravel terroirs, and since the mid-2010s a serious quality push has sharpened the results. The 2016 leans on roughly 65% Cabernet Sauvignon filled out with Merlot, from a near-ideal growing season that gave ripe fruit and fine-grained tannins. This is classic Pauillac at its more elegant end. Give it a decant now, or hold it a decade-plus; it will reward patience through the 2040s.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Made for red meat: dry-aged ribeye, rack of lamb, a rare roast beef. Also good with duck breast, hard aged cheeses, or a mushroom-heavy braise.

Tasting Profile

Cassis and dark plum with cedar, tobacco and pencil shavings. Medium-to-full bodied, fresh acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a long, savory finish.
