The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine On the exceptional terroir of the Pauillac plateau, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands out for its consistency, fullness, and the distinctive spiced character of its wines. The remarkable depth of this cru comes from its old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, while its structured, straightforward style develops a beautiful suppleness with age.
Wine Of perfect balance, the 2017 Red Pauillac Lacoste-Borie is savory and sapid, with notes of leather and black fruits. The velvety texture provided by the Merlot grapes makes it rich and unctuous wine, with a persistent and fresh finish. A wine to be enjoyed as of now, or kept for a few more years in the cellar.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 75% of which are new.
