Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2014
Suggested Food Pairings:
The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, was mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy" which means "hillock, or small height". True to its name, the vineyard sits on outcrops with a Pauillac terroir, similar to that of the Médoc's first growths. Since the 16th century the property has been passed down from generation to generation, until the current family, the Borie's, bought the property in the 1920s.
Tasting Notes
This wine has an enticing, dark and very intense, ruby color. The bouquet reveals aromas of ripe black fruit and cassis complemented by spicy notes with great freshness. The palate is precise and dense, evolving into charming and well-rounded tannins with good length and structure. The overall impression is one of purity and elegance.
