A great chance to try a Bordeaux from this region with a little time already under its belt. Pauillac, known for its powerful and age-worthy reds, is home to some of Bordeaux's most prestigious estates. Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and a hint of graphite, the wine offers a full-bodied palate with layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of leather. This holds its own with a refined structure and deep complexity. It delivers great value considering the age and embodies the classic, robust character of the region.
This wine will benefit from being decanted before serving for 2+ hours.
Try this with beef wellington or a lentil and mushroom shepherds pie.
"Grand-Puy Ducasse’s 2016 vintage is a classic Bordeaux with deep, rich flavors and a velvety finish. It’s perfect for a celebratory meal, and pairs wonderfully with roast beef or a savory lamb dish. A standout choice for anyone looking to impress."
