78 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 % Merlot, 40 hl/ha. Purpurgranat mit violettem Rand. Verspieltes Bouquet mit roten Kirschen und Johannisbeeren, dahinter Preiselbeersaft, Burley-Tabak und Heidelbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und perfekt stützender Rasse, diese gibt hier den Ton an, der Wein besticht mit einer unglaublichen Finesse. Im aromatischen Finale Hagebutten, Wacholder und Graphit. Ich hoffe, dass diese Schönheit bei vielen Kunden den Weg auf den Einkaufszettel findet. Kann noch zulegen. 18,5/20 Punkte. Weinwisser
This captures the style of the vintage to a T, with vividly ripe cassis and plum fruit, carried by solidly built but fine-grained structure. Lots of graphite and tobacco accents hang in the background for now. A firmly grounded wine. Wine Spectator

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.
