Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2022
The single bottles are offered in own wooden cases, 1 week delivery. The cases of six are shipping in autumn, 2026 Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands among Pauillac's most reliable estates, and their 2022 shows exactly why we rate them so highly. This is classic Left Bank Bordeaux with blackcurrant depth, cedar spice, and that distinctive graphite minerality that makes Pauillac so compelling. The structure here is impressive but not intimidating. At four years old, it's beginning to show its pedigree whilst keeping plenty in reserve. The tannins have that grainy texture that speaks of quality fruit and careful extraction. This vintage captures everything we love about Grand-Puy-Lacoste: the estate's signature elegance wrapped around a core of serious Cabernet Sauvignon.
