Tasting Note
Grand Puy Lacoste 2021 has a deep ruby colour. The nose is of red fruit, violets, vanilla and spices. On the palate the wine is clean, dense and fresh. The floral and red fruit notes knit with the soft and ripe tannins. Overall the effect is of a wine with elegance, charm and vitality, leading to a pure and persistent finish. In this 2021 we have all the style and quality to be found in fine vintages of Grand Puy Lacoste where our refined fruit combines with stylish smooth tannins. This vintage is also distinguished by a balance of alcohol and acidity different from its three predecessors, returning to a more moderate alcohol level, similar to the majority of previous vintages of Grand Puy Lacoste which have had class and balance, and given great drinking pleasure.
Product Notes
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a distinguished Pauillac estate classified as a Fifth Growth in Bordeaux’s historic 1855 classification. Its wines reflect the character of the appellation, with Cabernet Sauvignon providing structure and depth, complemented by Merlot and, in some vintages, Cabernet Franc. Aromas often suggest blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite and subtle tobacco, evolving toward leather and earthy complexity with age. On the palate, firm yet refined tannins support concentrated fruit and a fresh, persistent finish. Typically approachable with decanting when young, Grand-Puy-Lacoste can mature gracefully for decades. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef, game and mature hard cheeses at dinner.
