This is the consistent and reliable second wine of Grand Puy Lacoste that always delivers early-drinking pleasure.
59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc in 2022. This represents 40% of Grand Puy Lacoste's production in 2022 and is being aged in 50% new oak.
A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Lacoste-Borie is as good a wine from this label as I can remember tasting. Exhibiting aromas of cassis, charcoal and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and lively, with excellent depth and persistence.
Mid ruby in colour with a cool, fresh, vibrant nose of red cherry, cedar and hedgerow. The palate is silky, compact and vibrant. This is lively, vibrant and lithe. An easy, bright and approachable style that will drink well in its youth.
