					<description><![CDATA[Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.

L'Héritier de Grand Puy Ducasse is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse. A distinguished red wine that embodies the classic elegance of the Pauillac AOC with rich flavors and refined tannins.

Thanks to impeccable harvesting and tailor-made winemaking, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot produced a wine renowned for its aromatic complexity, glorious structure and ageing capacity, all true to the classic Pauillac style.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 13.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Intense and brilliant burgundy red color.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Although the bouquet is less expressive than the color, it is no less interesting with its notes of red fruits and spices on a melted wood. A touch of leather recalls the place of Merlot in the blend.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Ample on the attack, the palate is supported by still firm and lively tannins that call for aging.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
18 months ageing in French oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Best served with roasted and grilled meats, duck breast, lamb and salads.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
Ideal between 2022 and 2033.</p>
