Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste is located in Pauillac, Bordeaux and produces wine that is a full-bodied, tannic, concentrated Bordeaux wine that ages well. 

The vineyard is planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, and the vines are planted to a density of 10,000 vines per hectare. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats of various sizes ranging from 12 hectoliters all the way up to 180 hectoliters. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank. The wine is aged in 70% new, French oak barrels for an average of 16 to 18 months before bottling. 

The best vintages are: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2000, 1996, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1970, 1961, 1959 and 1945. Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The wine is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. 

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste is usually better with at least 12-20 years of bottle age. Young vintages can be decanted for at least 2-4 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
