    Couleur rouge sombre, aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil, complexe, délicat et noble. Bouche tout en pulpe suave et fondante, avec de la classe dans le toucher. La puissance se fait jour en milieu de bouche, sans jamais bouleverser le port gracieux de Grand Puy Lacoste. Finale incrachable, longue, profonde, au grain fin. Assemblage : 79 % cabernet sauvignon, 21 % merlot. Degré d'alcool : 14°2 - pH : 3,57. Rendement : 38 hl/ha. Avril 2023.

    Gorgeous vibrant purple colour in the glass, deep and darkly scented, black bramble fruits, flowers, cinnamon, dark chocolate and liquorice. Firm and forward, this is generous but sleek, so you get power and concentration but also juicy liveliness, great tension and energy. I really do like the ease of this, it's not trying too hard but delivered with poise, punch and purity. An excellent wine that really over delivers - so well presented, detailed, finessed and refined but still with the strength coming at the end in the wave of liquorice, dark chocolate and wet stone terroir markers. A brilliant wine with potential to deliver such excellent drinking pleasure. I love it. 3.57pH. A yield of 38hl/ha. 60% grand vin, 40% second wine. Eric Boissenot consultant. Harvest 7-23 September. Yield of 38hl/ha. Ageing in French oak, 75% new. Drinking window: 2027 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. April 2023.

    79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot Grand-Puy-Lacoste se révèle avec prudence, avec tact. Et quand un vin de Pauillac se comporte ainsi, c’est qu’il a des ambitions dédiées à l’avenir, mais aussi à l’harmonie. En bouche, le vin est compact et élégant. Il peut compter sur l’appui de tannins précieux, compacts et aux grains fins qui impactent l’ensemble du palais, de manière uniforme et précise. Il ne cherche pas l’éclat, il se concentre sur la profondeur, sur la subtilité de son extraction et sur son aptitude à performer longtemps. C’est un très grand vin. Belle réussite. 2029-2047. Décembre 2024.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has turned out nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of rose petal, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety, with a layered core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's beautifully balanced. Drinking window: 2027 - 2050. William Kelley. March 2025.

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

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!
