Château Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac 5cc. 2021 0,75l
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a 5th Growth Pauillac estate with 63 hectares of vines on a hill of deep, large-grained gravel. The vineyard is planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, completed by Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc, giving a classically structured, age-worthy wine. Hand-harvesting, plot-by-plot vinification and long ageing in French oak underline finesse and precision. The bouquet shows cassis, blackberry and black cherry alongside cedar, tobacco and graphite. On the palate Grand-Puy-Lacoste is concentrated yet silky, with finely etched tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, noble Pauillac finish.
In Pauillac, Château Grand‑Puy‑Lacoste is counted among the Médoc’s oldest domains, with ownership lines documented back to the 16th century. Classified in 1855 as a Fifth Growth, it entered a decisive modern chapter in 1978 when the Borie family took over, restoring the estate while preserving its original spirit....
The Great Vertical Tasting: A wine through the mirror of time.
Anyone who compares wine across several vintages discovers its development in a particularly impressive way. A vertical tasting reveals how style, maturity, structure and aromas change over time – and helps to find the right vintage for personal taste or a special occasion.
The grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a world-famous red grape producing dark, structured wines with cassis, blackberry, cedar, firm tannins and ageing potential.
The variety is exciting because it combines power with recognisable character. Pair Cabernet Sauvignon with steak, roast beef, lamb, venison, burgers, mushrooms and hard cheeses.
