CHÂTEAU GRAND PUY LACOSTE
Frequently cited as punching above its weight in the classification stakes, this 5eme Cru classe has a complicated history, not unusual given the inheritance laws in France. The estate again began to produce wine that was not only worthy of the 1855 classification it had inherited but outperformed it. Francois Xavier now sits at the helm and undertook an extensive programme of investment, innovation and renovation. The wines have seen a serious upturn after the doldrums of the early part of the 20th century and now deserve the widespread acclaim they have achieved.NEW RELEASES

TASTING NOTES
An impressive release that speaks volume of the pedigree of Tenuta San Guido’s wines. Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A voluptuous nose charged with blackcurrant, black cherries, damson notes is rained in by mineral, almost balsamic hints of black olive, mint, tomato leaf and fresh black pepper. The exuberant nose of youth shouldn’t distract from the...

The tannins are very refined and harmonious and a vibrant, refreshing acidity gives definition and poise. Powerful, yet reserved, this is a real classic of the vintage. Drink...
