Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 2021

Reviews

95 -Decanter -

A pretty and fragranced nose, then a sense of true classicism with bright, shining acidity underpinning crushed-velvet tannins and undertones of cola, liquorice and cool blue fruit. Slightly lean but also with lots of Cabernet characters supporting the frame – good weight and focus, with drive. Quite linear and straight, but this works and makes you come back for more.

94 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

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, its suave, charming profile means that it will offer a broad drinking window. A slightly lower percentage of new oak, with lighter toasts, is reflected in better barrel integration out of the gates.

The Borie family has been the custodian of Grand-Puy-Lacoste since 1978, when Jean-Eugène Borie took over from the beloved Raymond Dupin. Today François-Xavier Borie runs the estate with his daughter Emeline, farming 90 hectares on the gravelly plateau of Pauillac, with Eric Boissenot consulting on the blending. The estate is classified Fifth Growth but has long been considered one of Pauillac's most reliable over-performers, sitting comfortably alongside its more heralded neighbors Pontet-Canet and Lynch-Bages. The 2021 delivers precisely what you want from this address: classic Pauillac structure built around 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, ripe black fruits, graphite, and tobacco, with impressive depth for the vintage. Scores from Decanter, James Suckling, and Wine Advocate all cluster in the 94 to 95 range. This is incredibly priced. Don't let it pass you by.
