Description
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste was historically created by an adviser to the Parliament of Bordeaux in the early eighteenth century but the current castle dates from 1850. He entered the Borie family in 1978 and is now managed by François-Xavier. The Borie family has owned prestigious Grands Crus Classés for several generations now. This is undoubtedly one of the best terroirs of Pauillac and one of the most regular classified wines at the highest level. Lacoste Borie is the second wine of the famous Château Grand Puy Lacoste.
This wine is pure pleasure, with very little pretension to complexity. At this level, the vintage conditions seem to impose themselves more, with the palate presenting as a ball of juicy fruit. The tannins are rounded and supportive, but the wine is supple and just deliciously easy to drink. It finishes with enough sappy, cranberry freshness to give the wine the necessary balance.
The stunning case contains 4 bottles, 2 magnums and 1 double magnum (total equivalent to 12 bottles)
THE WINE ADVOCATE - 90-92 Points
"A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Lacoste-Borie is as good a wine from this label as I can remember tasting. Exhibiting aromas of cassis, charcoal and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and lively, with excellent depth and persistence." Reviewed by William Kelley 04/23
JAMES SUCKLING - 92-93 Points
"A fine and fresh red with currants and chocolate, cedar and spice. Medium body. Savory and juicy. Delicious finish already. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot and 9% cabernet franc."
