Vinous - A. GalloniDescription
A typical Pauillac second wine signed by Grand-Puy-Lacoste
The property
Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of Bordeaux, the Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produces one of the most representative wines of the appellation. The Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of the estate.
The vineyard
The Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard spans 90 hectares of vines on deep gravelly hills within the Pauillac appellation. 60 hectares are even planted in one piece. The vines that produce Lacoste-Borie are younger than those of the First Wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste but are cultivated with the same care.
The vintage
The 2019 vintage is a great success for Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. The mild and dry winter allowed for early bud break. The arrival of cooler temperatures in April caused the vine to lose the slight advance on the vegetative cycle. The particularly hot and dry summer slowed the growth of the vine, then the light rains in September allowed the berries to reach perfect maturity.
Blend
This Lacoste-Borie 2019 is the result of a blend of cabernet sauvignon (62%), merlot (29%), cabernet franc (9%).
