2019 Chateau Grand Puy-Lacoste
Description
Overview
This is a red wine from the Left Bank of Bordeaux—specifically the Pauillac appellation and the estate is one of the 1855 Classification Fifth Growths. The blend for the 2019 vintage is approximately 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot.
Style & Tasting Notes
The 2019 vintage shows deep garnet/purple colour and opens with aromas of black-currant, cassis, graphite/pencil-lead, dark plum, violets and cedar. On the palate it delivers full-to‐medium/full body, refined yet firm tannins, excellent depth of flavour and a long mineral-infused finish. The fruit intensity is balanced with fresh acidity and classic Pauillac structure.
Critics have rated this one around 96 to 97 points (e.g., 96 from Decanter, 97 from Jeb Dunnuck) for its harmony, elegance and ageing potential.
Cellaring & Pairing
This wine is built for the long haul. Most reviewers suggest allowing 6-10 years before it hits its stride (so earliest drinking around ~2025-2028) and it can evolve gracefully for decades.
It would pair beautifully with classic steak bordelaise, roast lamb, aged hard cheeses or even richer game dishes—anything that complements its structure and depth.
Crafted from carefully selected vineyards, this wine showcases a refined balance
of ripe fruit, elegant tannins, and subtle oak notes. Every bottle is produced
using traditional winemaking techniques to preserve the authentic character of
the grapes and the unique terroir of the region.
Perfect for both casual evenings and special occasions, this wine delivers a
smooth finish with layers of blackberry, plum, vanilla, and delicate spice.
