Lacoste Borie 2016
Appellation: Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
Classification: Cru Bourgeois
Ownership: Borie family (AXA group)
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Vintage: 2016
Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, marked by a hot, dry summer followed by a cool, long autumn, enabled the grapes to ripen to perfection. Lacoste Borie, located on a gravelly terroir in Pauillac, produces a wine that combines power, elegance and finesse, true to the classic style of this prestigious appellation.
Tasting
Colour: Deep red with violet highlights.
Nose: Complex and aromatic. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (black cherry), sweet spices (pepper, liquorice), floral notes (violet) and subtle woody nuances (cedar, vanilla).
Palate: Full, velvety attack. Fine, well-structured tannins. Well-balanced, dense mid-palate with pure fruit and controlled acidity. Long, harmonious finish, marked by spicy, woody notes.

Suggested pairings
Pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats (fillet of beef, rib steak), roast or braised lamb, roast poultry (guinea fowl, duck) and richly flavoured stews. It also goes well with mature hard cheeses (Comté, Parmesan) and slightly blue-veined cheeses.
