2021 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 85%, Merlot 15%

Cabernet Sauvignon defines the style of the wine this year. This is chic and charming from tip to toe. The bouquet has the château’s typical gravel and spice notes, with alluring notes of violet and redcurrant. The palate begins smoothly, with an appealing freshness under a subtly handled weave of elegant fruit and fine-grained tannins. The surprise comes at the end, with a wonderful persistence underpinning the wine’s understated class. This is a beautiful 2021 in a style that will amply reward longstanding fans of this estate. Drink 2026-2042.

Our score: 17.5/20

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.
