Château Duplessis
3.8/5See the 34 reviews
Château Duplessis is located in the Moulis appellation, one of the six Haut-Médoc village appellations (along with Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien and Listrac). A former hunting lodge, it is said to have once belonged to Armand du Plessis, nephew of Cardinal Richelieu.
2015 marks a turning point and a major renewal for Château Duplessis. Philippe Ferrier took over from Lucien Lurton, owner since 1960, who had entrusted his daughter with the vineyard, which is run using integrated farming methods. In 2015, he undertook a complete renovation of the vineyards, from the barns to the winery, as well as changes to the winemaking process. Today, this Cru Bourgeois has a new look, with a new label for the 2015 vintage.
The Château Duplessis vineyard extends over 23 hectares, planted with vines that are on average twenty-five years old, on a clay-limestone and clay-loam terroir. The grape varieties are predominantly Merlot (65%), which expresses itself particularly well in these soils, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon (29%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (1%).

In the glass, you're carried away by a round, intense palate of dark berry fruit and peppery notes. Firm tannins contribute to the wine's overall harmony, followed by a persistent, fresh finish. It's all there!
