Punteggi dei critici
96 Robert Parker
The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste exhibits notions of minty cassis, plums, loamy soil, burning embers and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate that’s deep and concentrated, its generous core of lively fruit concealing an elegantly muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannin. Consisting of fully 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is another true classic from the Borie family.
96 Vinous
The 2019 Grand Puy Lacoste, as usual, requires plenty of aeration in the glass. Then boom! You get that gorgeous, classic Pauillac raspberry and blackberry fruit infused with cedar and pencil box scents. The harmonious, poised palate has wonderful focus, very fine tannins and a silky-smooth texture. As I remarked in my previous note, it’s very pliant and persistent, with a graphite-tinged finish. A glorious Grand Puy Lacoste that will need time to assimilate the oak – but hey, GPL lovers know the rules.

This is a very polished young wine with lemon-rind, blackcurrant, cedar and lavender character. It’s full, yet so refined and sophisticated, with floral undertones to the pretty fruit. The tannins are intense and long. Give this at least five or six years to soften. Try after 2025.

Dark but vibrant and racy, with sleek black currant, blackberry and black cherry puree flavors coursing through, pierced by a graphite spine and backed by tobacco, singed alder and freshly plowed humus notes. The long finish has a smoldering hint without sacrificing the purity of the fruit. Rock-solid. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 10,000 cases made. — JM

Château Grand Puy Lacoste
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste è la tenuta di Pauillac per antonomasia e da decenni produce Bordeaux rossi mirabili e classici. Tra i più antichi Châteaux a proprietà familiare nella denominazione, la tenuta è stata nelle mani di sole tre famiglie dal XVI secolo a oggi. La famiglia Borie, che acquistò Grand-Puy-Lacoste nel 1978, è la terza proprietaria. Oltre tre generazioni della stirpe Borie hanno contribuito alla grande reputazione dell'azienda. Oggi, la seconda generazione, rappresentata da François-Xavier, gestisce la tenuta insieme alla figlia maggiore Emeline. Lungo la sponda sinistra dell'estuario della Gironda, nella proprietà di 90 ettari nel Médoc si coltiva principalmente Cabernet Sauvignon (55 ettari), oltre a piccoli appezzamenti di Merlot e Cabernet Franc. Questo classico Château di Bordeaux produce due vini di prim'ordine, che devono entrambi la struttura vellutata al Cabernet Sauvignon. Il Grand Vin proveniente da questo Cru Classé è un rosso nobile e potente, tanto preciso ed elegante quanto robusto: il Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
