2019 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste Pauillac Grand Cru Classé Magnum

Grand-Puy-Lacoste is located in the terroir of Pauillac, one of the six communal appellations of the Médoc along the left bank of the Gironde. The Pauillac appellation is limited to the municipal district of 2,274 hectares. It has 18 properties classified in 1855 (around 85% of the total production of the appellation). The commune is separated from Saint-Estèphe to the north by the marshy area of Breuil and from Saint-Julien to the south by the hollow formed by the stream Juillac. The plateau of Grand-Puy lies to the west of the village, above the hamlet of Bages. This spur of the terrain (called a "puy" in the old local dialect) Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2019 is part of a series of great vintages. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (83%) supplemented with Merlot and a few percent Cabernet Franc. The character and charm of the Grand-Puy-Lacoste and especially the 2018 and 2019 perfectly express the richness and quality of the great terroir and that certainly in such a great vintage. This wine is deep ruby red in the glass. The bouquet reveals aromas of ripe black fruit and liquorice, which underlines the perfect ripeness of the grapes. It has a perfect ripeness, while maintaining a beautiful freshness and good minerality. In the mouth, the wine very precise and complex. This 2019 has a very fine combination of balance power, elegance and complexity. It has a long, very aromatic and tannic aftertaste. The whole makes it clear that it has a great aging potential (2065+) Magnum of 1.5 liter FACT: Under the tab: Attachment you will find the official factsheet and we will send it to you digitally when you order this wine.
