79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 45hl/ha. Purpurgranat mit Granatschimmer am Rand. Dichtes, süsses Walderdbeerbouquet, dahinter Himbeermark und Rosenholz sowie Veilchen – alles zusammen vermischt sich zu einem betörenden Parfüm. Am eleganten Gaumen stützendes Tannin, mit viel Frische und roten Johannisbeeren im Rückaroma und ein sehr langes, elegant nachklingendes Finale – was für eine tänzerische Delikatesse! François-Xavier Borie sieht Parallelen zum grandiosen 1996er, aber mit dem Plus an Präzision!

The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a superb, vibrant, tobacco-infused bouquet that soars from the glass; it is extremely well defined and classic, just as you expect from this Pauillac. The medium-bodied palate displays succulent tannin that hides the backbone supporting this wine. It is more approachable than the Grand Puy Lacoste of a decade ago, yet retains the essence of its terroir. This is one of the most elegant GPLs of recent years.

The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy” which means "hillock, small height”. True to its name, the vineyard sits on outcrops with a terroir similar to that of the Médoc's first growths. From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, in a direct line through marriage until 1920, before connecting with another family in 1978 - the Borie.
