Château Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse 2016 is the distinguished second wine of the renowned Fifth Growth estate, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse, located in the prestigious Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Produced with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, Prélude is crafted primarily from younger vines, offering an approachable yet authentic expression of Pauillac's legendary terroir.

The exceptional 2016 vintage is widely recognised as one of Bordeaux's finest, producing wines with outstanding concentration, freshness, and ageing potential. This Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend delivers the classic Pauillac profile of cassis, graphite, cedar, and refined tannins, making it enjoyable today while capable of further development in the cellar.
