Grand Puy Lacoste 5 ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2022

Grand Puy Lacoste 2022 is a classic Pauillac from one of the Médoc’s most respected fifth-growth estates, offering the structure, depth, and refinement that Bordeaux lovers look for. With its Cabernet-led profile and unmistakable Left Bank character, it stands out as a polished expression of a vintage that has already drawn considerable attention for its balance and precision.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with youthful brightness in the glass. The nose typically opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, and subtle floral and spicy notes, while the palate is shaped by firm but well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savoury finish. This is a wine built for cellaring, with the concentration and backbone to evolve gracefully over many years. In time, the fruit should gain more complexity, revealing classic Pauillac notes of tobacco, leather, and earthy nuance alongside its core cassis character.

Production
Grand Puy Lacoste is situated in the heart of Pauillac on Bordeaux’s gravel-rich Left Bank, where well-draining soils and a temperate maritime climate are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape in the blend. The estate typically benefits from careful parcel selection and precise vineyard work, with harvesting carried out at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and tannin quality. Vinification is carried out in the traditional Bordeaux manner, with fermentation and maturation designed to highlight structure, purity, and the estate’s signature elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, ribeye steak, duck breast, game dishes, and hard cheeses such as aged Comté or cheddar. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.
