With a history dating back to the 16th century, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac. Now under the ownership of François-Xavier Borie, consistency and quality have increased notably over the last decade and the château now enjoys a well-deserved reputation. This release is the 2009 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as one of the best in recent history. The weather conditions were ideal for grape growing, with a long, hot summer and a mild autumn.

Here we are in classic Pauillac territory, still young even at 15 years old, with a ton of tannic grip, slate and pencil lead, cassis and cocoa bean, channeling tension, freshness and bright fruits. A wonderful example of the vintage, needs a few more years than really being in its drinking window, but this is exceptional quality. 70% new oak for ageing.Jane Anson10th October 2024
93 Vinous
The 2009 Grand Puy-Lacoste has a clean and precise bouquet with graphite infused red berry fruit, woodland scents, fern and touches of autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite bold and assertive with dried blood and ferrous notes infusing the red fruit towards the persistent finish. You could broach this now although I would prefer to leave another couple of years, when it may well deserve a higher score. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2009 Grand-Puy-Lacoste opens with a nose of sweaty leather, damp earth, baked cherries and dried mulberries with touches of fried herbs, black olives and cast iron pan. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy, this is a more elegantly styled 2009 with provocative herbal sparks and a ferrous finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2009 Grand-Puy-Lacoste opens with a nose of sweaty leather, damp earth, baked cherries and dried mulberries with touches of fried herbs, black olives and cast iron pan.
