Owner's words
Grand Puy Lacoste 2023 is made up, as is generally the case, from a great majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, (77%) which gives it a lovely dense red purple colour, fine and bright, showing yet again the potential of our terroir. On the nose there are hints of blackcurrant, spices, especially of pepper and black fruits. The whole has a pronounced lively minerality and a touch of graphite. In the mouth, the front of the palate is most precise and clean. This 2023 is well balanced with a pronounced vitality, together with a finish prolonged by ripe well-knit tannins. Yet again, we find with this fine vintage the expression of the great terroir of Grand Puy Lacoste, with its richness, complexity and elegance. This will certainly be numbered among the great successes of the property, recognised for the regularity with which it is able to produce great wine.
