Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

Producer description of "Château Grand-Puy-Ducasse"

The vineyard is located in the commune of Pauillac in the appellation of the same name in the Médoc (Bordeaux). In the 17th century, a large estate belonged to Artigues Arnaud. His grandson Pierre Ducasse, one of the largest landowners in Pauillac at the time, acquired part of the estate in the 18th century and expanded it. The estate was given the name "Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud". The part of the name Grand-Puy (Great Mountain) refers to a district in Pauillac. It then came into the possession of the Mestrezat company, later Cordier Mestrezat, and was sold to Banque Crédit-Agricole in 2004. In the 1855 Bordeaux classification, the estate was awarded fifth place under its old name (Cinquième Grand Cru Classé).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
