The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family going back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy" which means "hillock, small height".
True to its name, the vineyard sits on the ground with Medoc's first growths. From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, before connecting with another family in 1978-the Borie.
Optimal drinking window: 2031 - 2054
What the critics say:
"The 2022 Grand Puy Lacoste, observed out of barrel, offers a more sensual and generous bouquet than previous vintages, with blackberry, bilberry and cedar scents emerging from the glass with a hint of pencil box underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, showing more structure than it did from barrel, which is precisely what you want from this Pauillac estate. Tobacco and graphite notes towards the finish linger beautifully in classical style. This is a very impressive wine that will mature with panache and stature."
"Rose buds, cassis, crayon, mint leaf, graphite, black tea, this is full of classic Pauillac character in a vintage where that is not a given. It has ridden confidently through ageing and I am still fully on board. Easy to recommend, great stuff. 60% of production in the 1st wine, Eric Boissenot consultant, 75% new oak."
