2017 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Classified a Fifth Growth in 1855, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste has long been recognised as an overachiever. The Borie family have produced a wonderful 2017, with plenty of rich black fruit aromas along with spicy cedar, clove and tobacco notes. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates with 80% of the blend, supplemented by juicy Merlot. The palate is silky with fine, well-integrated tannins and invigorating acidity. Decant for an hour and serve with roast lamb or a hearty vegetable stew.

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
