Critics’ scores
Neal Martin (Vinous) awarded a score of 89-91 points to the 2021 saying it had a ‘slightly rustic finish’ but was ‘not bad considering the vintage’.
James Suckling gave it 93-94 points and described it as ‘a precise and focussed wine for the vintage’.
Jane Anson scored it 87-points and William Kelley (Wine Advocate) rated it 90-92 points.
Fair Value analysis
Prices for Grand-Puy-Ducasse show stronger correlation to age (60%) than critic scores. Older vintages like 2011 thus offer more value to buyers.
However, buyers might also wish to consider the 2019 vintage, which has 93-points from Martin and is available at an 8% discount to today’s release.
