Tasting notes
The wine has a medium intense colour, predicting finesse and elegance. Grand-Puy Ducasse 2008 is very fruity on the nose, fresh, showing notes of liquorice, blackcurrant and black pepper. Full Bodied. The tanins will integrate with ageing.
Climatic conditions
The grapes slowly ripened over the season. The vineyard was managed with great care, allowing us to start the harvest on 1st October. The sanitary state of the vineyard was perfect with perfectly ripe grapes from every plot. We produced a wine that is enticing with a great ageing capacity.
Winemaking
After hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in
temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels, 30% to 40% of which are new.
