Description
Always a favorite among consumers, Xavier Borie’s is a fifth-growth Pauillac that consistently performs at a much higher level. The 2012 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has the classic, tell-tale crème de cassis as well as some bluer fruits and floral notes. Medium-bodied, its ripe tannin, beautiful fruit and low acidity give it an up-front appeal. There’s no harm in drinking it now or cellaring it for another 12-15+ years.

The 2017 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Pauillac. This wine, with its deep, bright ruby hue, exudes scents of ripe red fruit, violets, and spices, all underpinned by an attractive fresh minerality. On the palate, it presents a precise, clean, and long attack, with ripe and melted tannins that contribute to its great balance. This wine charms with its elegance and freshness, offering an aromatic experience and a finish of considerable purity. It is recommended to decant for an hour before serving and pairs wonderfully with dishes like roast lamb or beef Wellington.
