Tasting commentary
The blend of Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2022 is again dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (79%) demonstrating, as if it were necessary, the potential of our terroir to express the character and charm of great Cabernet. Our wine is a deep bright and intense red/purple colour.  The bouquet is of flowers, violets in particular, spicy and with very ripe fruits such as blueberries and blackberries. It is completed by a fresh minerality and a note of graphite. On the palate, there’s a crescendo of flavours, smooth, dense and complex. This 2022 has fine balance, notable freshness and a long finish sustained by powerful but melted tannins. Once again, this remarkable vintage allows Grand-Puy-Lacoste to demonstrate the capacity of our terroir to summon from our vines grapes with richness, complexity and elegance. This vintage is unique, impossible at the moment to compare with any other! The combination of the ripeness of the fruit and the freshness on the palate makes it a wine of real stature and great longevity.
