Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac, which has been owned by the Borie family since 1978. The 55-hectare vineyard sits on a mixed soil of gravel, sand and a little clay. This is the 2019 vintage of its Grand Vin, presented in a 3-litre bottle. The blend is composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, aged in oak for 18 months. It is a very polished young wine, offering notes of black fruits, spices and a touch of menthol, whilst retaining its freshness. Very precise and complex on the palate with a bright, crisp finish.
97 Vinous
The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with cedar and graphite infused black fruit, hints of pencil shavings, controlled and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, taut and fresh with a pixelated and mineral-driven finish, lingering long in the mouth. What a heavenly 2019 Pauillac. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
96 Jane Anson
Inky and glass-staining damson colour, with enjoyable aromatics, slow building power that is tempered and softened by waves of violet and peony. Knitted down, muscular tannins build a wall around the black fruits. This is concentrated, signature Pauillac just as it was En Primeur, majoring on pencil lead, cloves, liquorice and cocoa bean. 41hl/h yield, 75% new oak.Jane Anson12th January 2022
96 The Wine Independent
A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, the 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up fragrant notes of lilacs, licorice, and dark chocolate over a core of blackcurrant jelly and blackberry pie. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance, with lovely freshness and fine-grained tannins, finishing long and perfumed.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st May 2023
