Producer: Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse, a respected Fifth Growth estate in the heart of Pauillac. The 2018 vintage delivered exceptional quality across Bordeaux's Left Bank, producing wines of concentration, depth and remarkable ageing potential. This wine showcases Pauillac's signature power and structure, with the classic blackcurrant intensity and firm tannins that define the appellation. Crafted from younger vines and carefully selected parcels, Prélude offers earlier accessibility whilst maintaining the noble character and breeding of its Grand Cru Classé origins, making it an excellent introduction to this prestigious estate.
