Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 5eme Cru Classe

Grand Puy Lacoste 2022

Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 98.0

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.

William Kelley

A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, the 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a brilliant classic in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that exhibits beautiful structural refinement and purity of fruit. Classy and integrated, it is somewhat reminiscent of a modern-day and less forbiddingly structured version of this estates brilliant 1982.

Deep colour. Marked Cabernet nose. Cassis with a vibrant freshness. Juicy fruit and well-integrated tannins with a more textural feel this year. Reserved, measured, structured. Identity unchanged. (JL)
