"The wine has a beautiful garnet-red color with brilliant, dark reflections. In the glass, it expresses a fine, gourmand nose with notes of black fruit, cedar and light tobacco. On the palate, the attack is refined and greedy, followed by relatively substantial tannins that will need several years of cellaring to develop a proper patina. The aromatic palette is rich and the finish has great length." - Marie, Oenologue Premium Grands Crus
Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2024 is marked by a very high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%), which once again demonstrates the identity of the terroir and the finesse of its expression. This 2024 vintage embodies the elegance of the vintage, with beautifully ripe fruit and remarkable freshness. Its garnet-red color precedes an expressive nose of ripe black fruits accompanied by subtle notes of violets. On the palate, the attack is full and enveloping, with a silky texture and fine, powdery tannins. The whole offers a harmonious balance between structure, velvetiness and brilliance. In keeping with the estate's style, this refined wine will be accessible in its youth, but has excellent ageing potential.
