Viniou Reviews

The Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2016 hails from the prestigious Pauillac appellation within the Médoc sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This Grand Cru wine is a testament to the classical Bordeaux style, typically a blend predominantly featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and perhaps a touch of Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage is particularly renowned for its exceptional quality, benefiting from favourable weather conditions that fostered perfectly ripened grapes. The vinification process is likely traditional, with careful selection and ageing in oak barrels to impart complexity and depth.

Pauillac is synonymous with some of the most revered wines in the world. Located in the Médoc, this region is blessed with a maritime climate, offering moderate temperatures and allowing a lengthy growing season. The gravelly soil typical of the Médoc provides excellent drainage, a critical factor when cultivating the flagship grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. This terroir, combined with the rich history of wine production tracing back centuries, contributes to the region's esteemed reputation for crafting full-bodied, structured wines with formidable ageing potential.

When it comes to pairing, a Pauillac like Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2016 can hold its own against a range of hearty dishes. Opt for classic French cuisine such as entrecôte Bordelaise, where the wine’s robust tannic structure and dark fruit notes complement the richness of the meat. Game dishes such as roast venison or duck confit will also harmonise beautifully. For a touch of regionality, a Bordelaise sauce featuring shallots and red wine can enhance the experience.

Serving this wine at the correct temperature is crucial to fully appreciate its complexity. Decant the wine approximately an hour before serving to allow it to breathe and open up. The ideal serving temperature is between 16-18°C, where the nuanced aromas and flavours will be most expressive. Enjoy this exquisite representation of Pauillac's winemaking artistry with good company and fine food.
