Description
Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it reflects the elegance and structure of its prestigious Grand Vin sibling at a more approachable level.
Tasting Notes
A succulent, charming wine, the 2020 Lacoste-Borie bursts with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, crushed mint and creamy oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate. It’s a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, the latter amounting to the Borie family’s entire production this year, as none made it into Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
