The Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2009 is a generous yet impeccably balanced expression from a warm, celebrated vintage. Aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, and graphite unfold readily, accented by tobacco leaf and subtle earthy tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, with ripe, polished tannins that provide breadth without heaviness. Flavors of cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, and savory spice develop with depth and continuity. Despite the vintage’s richness, freshness remains intact, lending poise and definition. The finish is long, smooth, and classically Pauillac—an expressive, mature wine that combines generosity with enduring structure.
Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste is one of Pauillac’s most respected Fifth Growth estates, celebrated for its unwavering commitment to classical Médoc structure and longevity. Located on deep gravel terraces, the château favors Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wines their hallmark backbone, graphite nuance, and age-worthy frame. Under the stewardship of the Borie family, vineyard work and cellar practices emphasize precision, restraint, and faithful expression of terroir. Vinification is traditional and measured, with oak used to support structure rather than add sweetness. The style consistently prioritizes balance over power, producing wines that mature with grace. Grand-Puy-Lacoste has become a benchmark for traditional Pauillac at its best.
