About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceThough a well-trodden-path is set to this famous estate, there's good reason consideirng the magnificent wines that are realised from a 5th Growth producer. Set over 90 hectares of vines, the wine is built around the dominant Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot as the balancing act. The property is owned by Francois-Xavier Borie, and the vineyard is notably gravel over limestone and set west from the town of Pauillac. 2010 is built from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, readily drinkable in youth, with vibrant fruit, plush tannins and succulence in tow.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

An absolutely magnificent wine from this very popular estate, which sits well off the Route du Vin, just to the southwest of the town of Pauillac, its classic creme de cassis and floral notes are well-displayed. The wine possesses supple tannin, a full body, voluptuous character and a layered, impressively textured mouthfeel. This is a brilliant effort from Grand Puy Lacoste that can be drunk in 4-5 years or cellared for three decades or more.
