(Pauillac; 76% Cabernet Sauvignon; 24 % Merlot; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; IPT 66; 13% alcohol; tasted with the Emeline and Pierre-Antoine Borie in the new chai at Grand-Puy Lacoste). Bright, crunchy and very lifted for GPL - and a little different from its habitual classicism, this is quite ample, naturally ripe and sweet-fruited and with a broad diversity of fruit components - raspberry, blueberry and a little purple plum. It's a little less floral than Lacoste-Borie (there's no Cabernet Frabc here). Plump, plush and pushing into the cheeks, this is distinctly succulent, juicy and sapid. The tannins are very fine-grained and the overall impression is of a wine of great clarity and a certain crystallinity yet also significant aging potential. A more modern style perhaps, or at least a move in the direction, this has a certain 'neo-classical' charm. Accessible but age-worthy; stylish yet reassuringly aristocratic.

Vibrant, in the spirit of the 2025 vintage, cloves, capsicum, blueberry and cassis fruits, plenty of delicious texture, lovely sappy and bright juice, firm tannins, appellation typicity, crayon and mint leaf. First year for the new cellar. 65% new oak for ageing

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste bursts with bold notes of cassis and fresh blackberries, leading to an undercurrent of cedar chest, baking spices, and fragrant soil. The medium-bodied palate is dense with black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long and spicy. The blend is 24% Merlot and 76% Cabernet Sauvignon.
