Grand Puy Lacoste 2001

The 2001 vintage is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon - 28% Merlot - 2% Cabernet Franc and presents an intense ruby red colour. Powerful on the nose, with blackcurrant aromas, notes of cherry jam, liquorice and spice. An elegant freshness with strong notes of black fruits and a very long finish. The wine is perfectly balanced. full-bodied with voluptuous tannins, offering a beautiful expression of the Pauillac terroir. The Borie family has owned Grand Puy Lacoste since 1978. Jean-Eugène Borie, who loved the Médoc and its vines, bought the property in 1978. He entrusted it to his eldest son, François-Xavier, who gradually renovated the château and its winemaking facilities. Today, his eldest daughter, Emeline, works at his side.
