Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste
Pauillac - 5ème Grand Cru Classé
Description
Château Grand Puy Lacoste’s grand vin comes from a 60-hectare vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines that are just under 40 years old. These varieties thrive on the deep gravel soils and are tended to with care using sustainable methods. Hand-harvested, the grapes are then sorting before spending a long time in vats. The wine is matured in French oak barrels (about 70% new wood) for a year and a half to create this brilliant wine perfect for ageing. Intense and deep, it possesses a beautiful mineral freshness on the finish.
Wine Advocate : “Aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and violets introduce the 2023 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple wine that’s seamless and sensual, with good depth at the core, beautifully integrated tannins and a lively, charming profile. It’s a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot that was picked between September 11-28.”
