Scores

This has lots of mineral and lemon peel character with dried flowers and currants. Full and very silky with fresh acidity. Long and intense. Racy and lean at the finish. James Suckling

Tasting Notes

It¿s clear for the start that this is a serious wine. The first waves of aromas are so very attractive and the nose is pure, understated but very confident with a core of bright blackberries and blackcurrants, a touch of blackcurrant leaf, a note of redcurrant and some delicate spring flowers. On the palate there is a real sense of gravitas. There are very clearly defined layers of creamy black fruit, violet, tart red fruit and a note of Clementine. Delicate coffee notes linger on the long, lively finish and round of a wine of excellent structure.

ProducerChâteau 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.
