Critical Acclaim

WE94
Wine Enthusiast

From a 19th-century winery that’s a prominent landmark on the Pauillac riverfront, this wine is dense with tannins and vivid with black fruits. The estate’s three parcels have given a rich wine, concentrated and dense while also having layers of dark fruits. Drink this promising wine from 2026.

James Suckling

Dried currants, stewed blackberries, praline, dried herbs and pencil lead on the nose. Raw cocoa, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins. Structured with excellent intensity and focus. Very polished. Try from 2025.

WS93
Wine Spectator

Very alluring, with a dark and winey core of cassis, steeped plum and blackberry preserve waiting to unfold fully while fine-grained alder, black tea, warm cast iron and licorice root notes form a prodigious frame. Long, dark, smoldering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2038.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is packed and lavish from start to finish, with an almost New World spin. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with bold and up-front aromas and flavors of black fruit and oak. Enjoy it with a thick slice of prime rib. (Tasted: June 25, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Decanter

A pretty intense interpretation of the vintage, with concentrated fruits and slightly bitter overtones. There are black fruits here, and tannins, giving Pauillac character. Not letting a lot of light out right now - demands patience. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038
