Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2016

CHF 79.00 (75cl)

Colour

A beautiful dark and intense purple red, with almost black reflections.

Nose

Very aromatic, fine fruity and pure, with aromas of blackberry, red berries, dark chocolate, licorice, eucalyptus and mint, followed by nuances of hawthorn and classic mineral and graphite notes.

Palate

Delicious entry into the mouth, taut core well wrapped in the middle, with velvety tannins and a juicy acid structure. It presents a slight sweetness at the end of the mouth. This is a very convincing vintage!

Wine-growing terroir

The Grand-Puy plateau is located to the west of the village, beyond the hamlet of Bages. This ridge of land rises approximately 20 meters above the sea. The vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir. The soil is made up of gravel, that is to say alluvial pebbles which ensure excellent drainage of water.

Winemaking

Fermentation for eight to ten days, vatting for approximately three weeks, followed by gentle extraction, daily pumping over, ten-day maceration to complete the extraction, malolactic fermentation. Aged for 16 to 18 months in barrels (2/3 of which are new wood).

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box
