Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac 2022

$5499

This Fifth Growth Pauillac emerges from deep gravel soils with hand-harvested precision. The 2022 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot is stainless steel fermented and aged 18 months, revealing sweet plums and cherries mingled with licorice, spices, tobacco, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and impressive mid-palate depth, it promises to develop beautifully from 2028 onward.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"The 2022 Grand Puy Ducasse is a racy, elegant wine. Broad and ample in the glass, with notable energy, Grand Puy Ducasse is a standout in 2022. Lavender, mocha, espresso, spice and leather play off a core of intense dark fruit. The vibrant, explosive finish is a thing of beauty." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 2022 Grand-Puy-Ducasse exhibits aromas of cassis, tobacco leaf violets and new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a sweet core of fruit, ripe acids and chalky structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This is a solid but somewhat rustic effort." —William Kelley

Decanter

94 points

"Ripe and filling, the blackcurrant and black cherry fruit is ripe and fleshy, a nice chewy sensation on the palate as well as cool blue fruit and chalky, minty, liquorice laced edges with fresh mint and crushed stones which give the minerality and the sense of gravel. I like the powerful undertone here, this has structure and backbone and a real drive as well as a sense of stateliness. Quiet, less overtly lively than some, more strict but also more serious in a good way. Tasted twice."

Wine Spectator

94 points

"Dark and winey, with flashes of game and sweet bay peeking out from behind a dense core of mulled black currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors. Dark licorice and warm earth notes wrap up the finish, while a smoldering cast iron edge lingers. Muscular and burly overall, but there's energy and depth for the requisite cellaring needed. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot."

Wine Enthusiast

"Barrel sample. This estate, whose chateau is in the main street of Pauillac, has produced a finely textured wine with rich tannins and a powerful structure. Its black-currant flavors are a fine layer of fruit and acidity." —Roger Voss
