ABOUT THE WINE
Classified a 5th Growth, Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc. Situated on an outcrop, about 20m above sea-level, the deep gravelly soil is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, which dominates on this estate. In 1978 the estate was purchased by the Borie family, who had a long history in Bordeaux as negociants.
TASTING NOTES
Hedonistic; dark-purple with sweet cassis dominating the aromas. Evolved and elegant, with a soft, easy-going style; dusty and tobacco-tinged on the long, lingering finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Partner with mushroom ragout or braised meats.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Excellent value for a top-quality Pauillac; the wines from this estate tend to age very gracefully indeed.
