Château Grand Puy Lacoste, 5ème Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac

The nose is open and has some sweetness, showing black cherry, cedar and pencil shaving. The palate is mid wight with grainy tannins and a subtle acidity. Filled with oak spices, graphite and cassis fruits, this is drinking very well.

- Other info: The origins of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, as well as that of its twin Grand-Puy-Ducasse, lie in a single estate that existed in the northern parts of the commune around Pauillac in the Middle Ages. The estate sat on the Grand Puy, one of the many gravel croupes that characterise the terroir of the top Médoc communes, soils perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon which are thus associated with many of the greatest vineyards of the region, from the first growths right down to the fifths. Today the estate covers 55 hectares and the vines have an average age of 38 years, producing elegant and concentrated wines.
