A one-hour day experience designed to offer an exclusive introduction to the prestigious world of Bordeaux's great reds, in a small group of no more than fifteen participants. The guided tour leads guests through the historic estate and its architectural gems, revealing the secrets of a meticulous winemaking that embraces the principles of the enhancement project known as "Renaissance". The activity culminates in a technical, commented tasting of two of the estate's truly prestigious wines, allowing visitors to appreciate the elegance, structure and aromatic complexity that define the great blends of the Rive Gauche.
Set in the heart of the town of Pauillac, with an evocative view over the Gironde Estuary, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is a wine icon whose story of excellence began in 1675 with Arnaud Ducasse. Officially classified in 1855 as a 5th Grand Cru Classé, the domaine boasts a 40-hectare vineyard spread across 11 different soil types, making it the most representative expression of the extraordinary biodiversity of Pauillac's terroirs. The only château in the appellation to vinify its own grapes in the town's historic centre for over two centuries, the estate is today led by the team of Anne Le Naour and Benjamin Cassoulet under the ownership of CA Grands Crus, which safeguards its legacy by continually investing in state-of-the-art vat rooms and ageing cellars.
