Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste: The Backbone of Classic Pauillac

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a revered 5ème Cru Classé, is widely known in the UK market for consistently punching above its weight in the 1855 Classification. The Borie family has meticulously managed this estate since 1978, focusing on a traditional, elegant Pauillac style that is both intense and wonderfully restrained. Planted on prime deep gravel beds, the resulting wine possesses a backbone and freshness that guarantees exceptional longevity.

Tasting Notes

A deep, sophisticated red wine, perfectly balanced:

• **Aroma:** A complex and evolving nose of pure blackcurrant, pencil lead, cigar box, and a hint of minty freshness.
• **Flavour:** On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied, with a lovely delicacy and a firm, tannic structure that is beautifully integrated. The finish is long, elegant, and persistently savoury.
• **When to Drink:** A classic cellaring wine. It requires time to soften, typically reaching its peak after a decade or more.

Serving Guide

Ensure the wine is served at 17°C-18°C (63°F-65°F). For younger vintages, a good decant (90-120 minutes) is highly recommended.

• **Suggested Pairings:** The perfect accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast or formal dinner party.
