2023 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Discover our multiformat case here.

Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon; 23% Merlot. Emeline Borie observed 2023 as a vintage of two halves. 

The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon ripened and were picked under very different conditions: quickly in hot weather for the Merlot and more slowly for the Cabernet. There is a juicy Merlot character of dense plum in the 2023, but GPL is a classic expression of Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon: cassis, cedarwood, black pepper and understated graphite. These elements are to the fore here. Every year, this château delivers excellence and an unforced expression of its terroir, unchanged in composition since 1855.

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.
