Description

The vineyards of Grand-Puy-Ducasse now amount to over 30 hectares, with the area, originally 10 hectares when under the direction of Ducasse, having more than trebled since the acquisition of the estate by Cordier-Mestrezat. They purchased a 10 hectare plot of fifteen year old vines, and a 10 hectare plot of old vines, and thus today the vineyards lie mainly in three different sections. Those to the north lie close to the Mouton and Lafite vineyards, there are those around the Grand-Puy to the west of Pauillac, and there are some to the south close to the Batailley vineyards. Of note is the 18th Century chateau, which unusually is located near the quay in Pauillac itself, rather than out among the vines. The terroir is typically deep gravel over limestone bedrock, and the varieties are 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot planted at about 10000 vines/ha. Under the ownership of Cordier-Mestrezat there has been some investment in the cellars, with a renovation of the chai in the 1980s and the introduction of stainless steel the following decade. Once harvested by hand, the fruit is fermented in steel, and sees a maceration of up to three weeks, with pumping over twice every day to submerge the cap. The process is overseen by Bernard Monteau, with consultation from Denis Dubourdieu. Once done, the wine will go into oak, up to 40% new each vintage, for up to 18 months. The grand vin is Chateau Grand-Puy-Ducasse (18000 cases per annum) and there are two second labels, Chateau Artigues-Arnaud, named after a Ducasse ancestor, and Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse (about 2000 cases per annum).
