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.
Santenay Premier Cru 'Beauregard', Edouard Delaunay 2022
The revival of the historic House Delaunay has been met with consistent acclaim with Laurent at the helm and Christophe Briotet in the winery (who has been IWC red winemaker of the year in 2020 & 2022 and white in 2021). The wines have been highly praised by critics, Club Members and the Honest Grapes team, and the portfolio encompasses everything from humble Aligote to Chambertin Grand Cru. With their commitment to excellence and remarkable vineyard sources, House Delaunay has regained its prominence in the world of Burgundy wines. Features as one of the Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2022 Special Report.
