Classification: Fifth Grand Cru Classé 1855
Ownership: Miailhe family
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (majority), Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2016
Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, marked by a hot, dry summer followed by a mild, sunny autumn, enabled the grapes to ripen excellently on the gravelly terroir of Pauillac. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produces a powerful, structured and elegant wine, true to the typicity of this grand cru classé.
Tasting
Colour: Deep, intense red with purple highlights.
Nose: Complex and concentrated. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), woody nuances (cedar, tobacco) and discreet floral touches.
Palate: Full, silky attack. Firm but well-defined tannins. Dense, rich mid-palate with intense fruit and lovely freshness. Long, persistent finish, marked by spicy, woody notes.
