Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a wine estate situated on a low hillock (or “puy”) above the village of Bages in the Pauillac region of the Médoc. Classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant grand vin is known for its velvety texture and cigar box and cassis aromas. 

TASTING NOTES

The 2021 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the vintage’s successes, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis and raspberries mingled with notions of violets, rose petals, pencil shavings and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered core of pure fruit framed by ripe acids and sweet tannins.

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc

Alc: 13%
