76% Cabernet Sauvignon en 24% Merlot tegen een vrij laag rendement van 31hl/ha (-25% t.o.v. 2019). Elevage in 75% nieuwe eik. Opnieuw een geweldoge Grand Puy Lacoste van de Emeline en François-Xavier Borie. Op en top Médoc en Cabernet Sauvignon op Graves. Excellent! IN DE PERS 96 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Februari 2023) The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste fulfils its promise from barrel. It has a very sophisticated and complex bouquet with black fruit, pencil shavings and light estuarine scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate has real intensity and concentration, the precision belying a very intense GPL not unlike the 2016 with a persistent graphite-infused finish that is just pure finesse. Magnificent. Drink 2027-2055. 95-97 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Mei 2021) The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a very refined, almost understated bouquet at first, but it opens in glorious fashion to offer precise blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed stone and wild mint, gaining intensity at its own pace. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-grained tannins, a keen thread of acidity, layers of intense black fruit and quite a spicy, vibrant and certainly persistent finish. This is a brilliant GPL from the Borie family. Drink 2027-2055. 96 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Februari 2023) The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is every bit as captivating from bottle as it was from barrel. Rich and explosive to the core, the 2020 possesses tremendous energy and nuance right out of the gate. Bright acids run through a core of ripe red plum fruit, blood orange, cedar and pipe tobacco. The 2020 is an absolute stunner. Drink 2028-2050. 93-96 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Mei 2021) The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is an explosive, vibrant Pauillac. The bouquet alone is captivating. Lavender, grilled herbs, menthol, chocolate and crème de cassis all race out of the glass. A wine of vertical structure and precision, the 2020 is a total stunner. It simply dazzles from start to finish. Drink 2032-2050. 95 Jane Anson – decanter.com (Mei 2021) Enjoyable, powerful, concentrated, not the most generous of GPLs but they have captured the essence of Pauillac, and it's hard to resist. Sappy juicy finish, full of cassis, mint leaf and pencil lead along the way with a clear tightness to the tannic frame. A yield of 31hl/ha. 75% new oak for barrel ageing. Drinking Window 2027 – 2046. 94+ William Kelley - robertparker.com (April 2023) The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is excellent, offering up aromas of cassis and plums mingled with pencil shavings, violets and loamy soil framed by a touch of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, pure and fleshy, with lively acids, powdery tannins and good depth at the core, its supple, charming style belies considerable aging potential. It's a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. Drink 2025-2050. This 90-hectare estate (some 60 hectares of which are in production), situated in a single block on a gravel dome around the château, has long been a favorite among Bordeaux insiders. Under Emeline Borie's direction, subtle refinements have been made: more than 100 soil pits were dug to better understand the château's geology; herbicides have never been used here, but now 20 hectares are devoted to a trial of organic farming; since 2013, a vertical press is used; and since 2012, the new vintage goes to barrel immediately after malolactic fermentation, before being blended early in the new year. Today's wines are a touch more immediately charming and structurally polished than the Grand-Puy-Lacoste of fifteen years ago, yet they have lost none of their classic Cabernet-driven Pauillac character. 93 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - thewineindependent.com (Maart 2023) 91-93 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – robertparker.com (Mei 2021) Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste offers notes of freshly crushed black and red currants, fresh blackberries and mulberries, plus hints of pencil lead, damp soil and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is delicately styled and refreshing, delivering soft, skillfully managed tannins and just enough freshness to frame the juicy black fruits, finishing savory. 96-97 James Suckling – jamessuckling (April 2021) This full-bodied red builds on the palate in a fantastic way with tight, compact tannins that grow and grow on the finish. Plenty of blackcurrant and graphite character and a flavorful finish. Same level as the excellent 2016. 92-95 Jeb Dunnuck – jebdunnuck.com (Mei 2021) 17,5/20 James Lawther MW – jancisrobinson.com (Mei 2021) 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot. Cask sample. Bright crimson hue. Classic in form and constitution. Firm and stately on the nose with graphite and dark-fruit notes. Juicy and fresh on the palate, the tannins smooth and refined but driving behind. Long, linear and persistent. Should age gracefully. Drink 2028 – 2045. 96 Ella Lister – lefigaro.fr (April 2023) - «Une touche de luxe» Un nez évocateur de la pourpre, brodée d’or, riche et finement tissée. En bouche, le vin fond généreusement. L’on retrouve la fameuse retenue, si noble, du Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, avec une touche de luxe en plus pour ce millésime 2020. 95-97 lefigaro.fr (Mei 2021) 93-95 Yohan Castaing - anthocyanes.fr (Mei 2021) 94 Terre des Vins (Mei 2021) 93-94 Bettane & Desseauve (Mei 2021) Grand Puy LacosteChateau Grand Puy Lacoste in Pauillac is gerespecteerd en geliefd.
