Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 1995 Pauillac - 5ème Grand Cru Classé

History

The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century.

The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy” which means "hillock, small height”. True to its name, the vineyard sits on outcrops with a terroir similar to that of the Médoc's first growths. From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, in a direct line through marriage until 1920, before connecting with another family in 1978—the Borie.

Tasting Notes

One of the oldest estates in the Médoc

Soil- Terroir

Very deep coarse gravel.

This vintage presents an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it is very tempting, powerful with blackcurrant aromas, notes of cherry jam, black fruits raised of liquorice and spices, the all combined with the freshness of the ripe grapes.

In the mouth, we discover a wine with a race shape with strong notes of spices and black fruits and with a very long length. The wine is perfectly ripe with full-bodied tannins but voluptuous and with a great balance. This wine offers the beautiful

expression of the terroir of this very typical Pauillac wine.
