Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 5eme Cru Classe

Grand Puy Lacoste 2021

Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

A welcome combination of violet and spices, laden with rich blackcurrant and cassis fruit immediately hits the nose when trying the first sip of Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Formed of 90 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (c.75%) and Merlot (c.25%), their terroir constitutes deep gravel beds over limestone, allowing the 38-year-old vines to thrive. The wine is aged in 75% new barrels for 16-18 months. The end result is a luscious wine of an intense red-purple colour whose palate is teaming with fruits that are met with rounded, smooth tannins that linger long after each sip.

The 2021 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a beauty, bursting with aromas of dark berries, plums, rose petals, violets, warm spices and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, its fleshy and enveloping, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a pleasure-bent, demonstrative personality. While its clear that this is an irresistibly charming, satisfying Pauillac from the Borie family, it wouldnt surprise me to see it acquire additional depth, flesh and seriousness with further barrel maturation.

The 2021 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fabulous. Bright and punchy, with terrific aromatic presence, the 2021 is a terrific example of the modern classicism of the year at its best. Its the sort of wine that needs years or maybe even decades to truly blossom, and yet all the requisites are there for that to happen. There is something about Grand-Puy-Lacoste that is absolutely striking in 2021. I cant wait to taste it from bottle. Tasted two times.
