The vineyards constitute close to 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot with the Grand Vin consisting of a blend of predominately Merlot complimented with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. A highly tannic wine, Grand Puy Ducasse is best enjoyed after about 8-10 years of bottle maturing. Expect strong aromatics with notes of sweet liquorice and piquant spices.

The 2022 Grand Puy Ducasse has quite a bold nose with blackberry, bilberry and blue fruit scents, along with a hint of iodine in the background. It's quite ambitious and pulls it off. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, plenty of graphite-infused black fruit and a hint of dark chocolate toward the finish that will be absorbed with time. A powerful Pauillac, this is a Grand Puy Ducasse that should repay cellaring. This is one to watch.

58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot.Very dark with a black core. Dark, rocky aroma. Big, thickly tannic and rich. Quite hard to taste now though it's balanced between fruit and massive tannic structure. Firmest of tannic grips yet not aggressive. (JH)
