A superb 17th century property located south of the famous commune of Pauillac in the heart of the Medoc. The word `Puy` derives from the French word for `knoll` or `ridge`, and it is on a croupe of gravel that the original vineyard is located, supporting a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon vines, with smaller plots of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This chateau produces quintessential Pauillac wines, aristocratic, succulent and ripe, supported by noble tannins and lingering complex finish. The chateau is now owned by the Borie family of Ducru-Beaucaillou, who have modernized the estate, producing wines that have been way above expectation.
