Cedar, cassis and dark berry fruit glide through Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2009, framed by polished but still energetic tannins and a cool graphite edge that speaks clearly of Pauillac. The warm, generous vintage gives a core of ripe blackberry and black cherry, yet the wine remains poised and savoury, with hints of spice and tobacco carrying through a long, refined finish.

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the grand vin of this historic Pauillac fifth growth, a Cabernet Sauvignon–dominant Bordeaux red grown on very deep coarse gravel plateaus west of the village of Pauillac. Regarded as a “great classic” of the appellation, it typically marries pure, ripe cassis and tobacco-cedar notes with refined but structured tannins, showcasing both the elegance and aging potential of its Médoc terroir under the long-term stewardship of the Borie family.
