Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Under the ownership of François-Xavier Borie, consistency and quality have increased notably, and the château now enjoys a reputation as a producer of excellent, yet classical, left Bank Bordeaux. The 2015 vintage is a quintessential Pauillac, crafted from 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It offers rich black fruit flavours, enhanced by lovely spiciness and subtle oak influence. This wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to evolve beautifully through to 2045.

Juicy but understated, with Pauillac scrape and intensity, appellation signature in a glass - cassis bud, cocoa bean, graphite, bilberry, crushed mint, tobacco, saffron. There is enough weight and definition to the tannins to suggest that it will age well from here, but a good carafe will bring it into its drinking window. A definite standout and one to look out for. 75% new oak for ageing.Jane Anson19th February 2025

The 2015 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a conservative, complex yet reserved nose with tobacco- and graphite-tinged black fruit aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is a little drier than some peers though this has held on to its smooth texture. This is just a little meatier on the finish than I recall. I am a massive fan of GPL and though I admire this, I would not include it amongst the greats of recent years. Alas, the bottle at Farr's 10-Year-On a couple of weeks later was corked. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. Neal Martin3rd June 2025

The 2015 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is medium garnet-purple colored with a nose of red and black currants, cedar chest and roses with a touch of dusty earth. The medium-bodied mouth is chewy, with lively fruit and good balance. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
