{"product_id":"pauillac-chateau-grand-puy-ducasse-1998","title":"Pauillac Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 1998","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1998 Pauillac Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is a red wine originating from the renowned Bordeaux region in France. Situated along the Atlantic coast, Bordeaux has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally recognized for its historic estates. The wine is produced in Pauillac, a prestigious appellation located in the Haut Médoc. Pauillac serves as a benchmark for Left Bank Bordeaux, characterized by its gravelly soils near the Gironde estuary where Cabernet Sauvignon traditionally dominates the vineyards. This specific 1998 vintage from the area achieved a score of 90 points and is described as rich and ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChâteau Grand-Puy Ducasse holds the prestigious title of 5e Cru Classé, a classification it was awarded in the historic 1855 system and has maintained for over 170 years. The estate is owned by CA Grands Crus, a part of the Crédit Agricole group. As an institutional owner with a long-term investment horizon, they provide a stable approach to operation and maintenance, ensuring a level of continuity that distinguishes the estate from many privately owned châteaux. The name \"Grand-Puy\" refers to a specific local soil pocket. Consequently, the estate should not be confused with Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, another independent 5e Cru Classé property located in the same commune with its own distinct history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesignated as a Grand Vin de Bordeaux, this wine carries the Appellation Pauillac Contrôlée status. The label features the coat of arms motto \"Regis Semper Amici,\" and the wine was bottled directly at the château. It is presented in a 75 cl bottle with an alcohol volume of 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Grand-Puy Ducasse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57398407692614,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1252_547c91ab-53bb-4b96-8b56-49c96d26a8dc.jpg?v=1789641449","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/pauillac-chateau-grand-puy-ducasse-1998","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
