Château Grand-Puy-Ducasse

Serious Cabernet Sauvignon lovers, this is the Pauillac red that brings the grip, depth, and savoury Bordeaux magic without making you feel like you need a wine degree. The 2022 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot leans into blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, and firm tannins, with that 5ème Grand Cru Classé pedigree from France’s Left Bank tucked neatly behind the flavour. Open it for roast lamb, a proper steak night, or when Napa Cab feels a bit too obvious.
