Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Lacoste-Borie 2016
The second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and in 2016 it shows just how good a 'second' can be. The palate is supple and generous, brimming with ripe cassis, dark cherry, and hints of tobacco, all framed by polished tannins and a fine freshness that carries through to the finish. Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of Pauillac’s great classed growths, a Fifth Growth that routinely overdelivers. The estate has been in the Borie family since the 1970s, who have invested heavily in both vineyard and cellar to produce wines of precision, balance, and classic Médoc character. Lacoste-Borie is crafted with the same care as the grand vin, offering an earlier-drinking expression of this hallowed terroir.
Château Marquis de Terme 2021
Château Marquis de Terme has a long history dating back to the 18th century. The estate covers about 40 hectares in Margaux, planted primarily with classic Bordeaux varieties. The terroir is composed of gravelly soils, which are ideal for producing structured wines with elegance and aging potential. The Château Marquis de Terme 2021 is a quintessential Margaux, emphasising balance, finesse, and aromatic complexity. In a vintage marked by cooler conditions, the wine reflects a more classic Bordeaux style with fresh acidity, moderate alcohol, and a focus on purity of fruit rather than sheer power.
