List of products by brand CHATEAU GRAND-PUY DUCASSE

Classified as a 5th Grand Cru in 1855, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse represents nearly three and a half centuries of continuous winemaking in Pauillac — a legacy now carried forward with documented ambition and a clear vision for the future.

A vineyard rooted in the gravels of Pauillac

Château Grand-Puy Ducasse extends across 40 hectares of scattered parcels distributed throughout the Pauillac appellation, from the gentle slopes to the Saint-Lambert plateau. The soils are composed of sandy gravels resting on a limestone bedrock — the classic Médoc profile that drains freely, warms rapidly and compels the vine to search deep for water and nutrients. This natural stress is precisely what gives Pauillac its structural backbone and ageing potential. The encépagement is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a proportion of Petit Verdot, the latter adding depth of colour and spice to the final blend. Yields are maintained at 45 hl/ha, a discipline that underpins the concentration expected of a Classified Growth.

Three centuries of history, one decisive turning point

The château traces its origins to 1675, making it one of the older estates in the Médoc. Its classification among the Grands Crus in the celebrated 1855 Classification confirmed a reputation already well established among the Bordeaux négociant trade. The most significant modern chapter opened in 2004, when CA Grands Crus — the specialist wine subsidiary of Crédit Agricole — acquired the property and initiated a comprehensive programme of investment in both the vineyard and the winemaking facilities. That long-term commitment reached a milestone with the Renaissance project, inaugurated in 2024, which earned the château the prestigious Best Of d'or 2026 from the Great Wine Capitals network — an international recognition that reflects the scale and seriousness of the transformation undertaken.

Certified viticulture: HVE and Terra Vitis

Château Grand-Puy Ducasse holds both HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and Terra Vitis certifications, the two principal French frameworks for responsible viticulture. Together they govern the management of soils, biodiversity, water use and phytosanitary inputs across the estate. For a Classified Growth operating at this scale in Bordeaux, these certifications represent a meaningful commitment rather than a marketing exercise — one that aligns with the broader ambitions of the Renaissance project.

The wines of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

The château produces exclusively red wine under the Pauillac appellation. The range is structured as follows:

• Château Grand-Puy Ducasse — the Grand Vin, a 5th Classified Growth Pauillac built on Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and Petit Verdot; structured, precise, and suited to medium-to-long cellaring.
• Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse — the second wine, offering earlier accessibility whilst retaining the typicity of the appellation and the house style.

Why we have selected Château Grand-Puy Ducasse

At Halles Quercamps, we look for producers whose quality trajectory is consistent and whose viticulture is honest. Château Grand-Puy Ducasse meets both criteria. The dual HVE and Terra Vitis certifications give us confidence in how the vineyard is managed; the sustained investment since 2004 is visible in the precision and balance of recent vintages; and the international recognition earned by the Renaissance project confirms that this is not a château resting on a historic classification but one actively earning its place among the Médoc Classés.

We recommend these wines to confirmed amateurs of Pauillac and classic Bordeaux who appreciate structure and restraint over immediate fruit. At the table, the Grand Vin pairs naturally with rack of lamb, roast grouse or a well-aged hard cheese. The second wine offers a more approachable entry point into the same terroir.
