Grand Puy Lacoste beheerst het wijnjaar met rijpheid, evenwicht en fraîcheur. Deze Pauillac is spreekwoordelijk betrouwbaar en geniet in 2022. De jaargang lijkt een hypothetische kruising tussen 2009 en 2010. Geplukt tussen 7 en 23 september tegen een rendement van 38 hl/ha. 79% Cabernet Sauvignon en 21% Merlot op 75% nieuwe eik. IN DE PERS 95-97 William Kelley – The Wine Advocate Issue 266 - robertparker.com (April 2023) A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, the 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a brilliant classic in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that exhibits beautiful structural refinement and purity of fruit. Classy and integrated, it is somewhat reminiscent of a modern-day and less forbiddingly structured version of this estate's brilliant 1982. 96-98 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Grand Puy Lacoste was picked from 7 to 23 September and contains more Merlot due to the high quality of the fruit, matured in 75% new oak. There is 14.2% alcohol. Therefore, this lends this GPL a little more precocity and sensuality compared to other vintages, not cut from the same "classical" cloth as, say, the 2019 or 2020. Underlying this velvety veneer are enticing traits of freshly-rolled tobacco and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-sculpted tannins. Silky smooth in texture, so much so that it belies that backbone underneath. There is a peacock's tail of mineral-rich, quite peppery black fruit on the finish, completing a Pauillac endowed with huge potential. Drink 2030-2065. 92-94+ Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a very pretty wine. Forward and quite showy, the 2022 comes across as a wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, incense and dried herbs are nicely delineated. There’s good complexity and depth, but it is the radiance of the year that is front and center. Hints of blood orange, pomegranate, spice and a pretty rose petal/violet note linger. Drink 2030-2052. 93-95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – thewineindependent.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple in color. Warm cassis, black cherry preserves, and kirsch aromas leap from the glass, followed by touches of chocolate mint, cedar, and pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate features fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the tight-knit red and black berry layers, finishing long and lifted. This is wonderfully energetic! pH 3.57. 17+/20 James Lawther – jancisrobinson.com (Mei 2023) 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot. Cask sample. Deep colour. Marked Cabernet nose. Cassis with a vibrant freshness. Juicy fruit and well-integrated tannins with a more textural feel this year. Reserved, measured, structured. Identity unchanged. 14%. Drink 2032– 2050. 95-96 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2023) A very structured and rich red with black berry and chocolate. Full-bodied with a solid core of fine tannins and a fresh and muscular finish. Dusty texture. Yet it remains bright and vivid. 3.55 pH. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot. 96 Jane Anson – janeanson.com (Mei 2023) Inky depths to the colour. Violet edging, bitter black chocolate and graphite, can feel the grain of the tannins, and the beautiful balance and juice to damson, cassis and plum puree fruits. Captures just the right amount of drama without sacrificing Pauillac character, this is a wine that is clearly going to age extremely well, with depth of flavour and rich tannic frame that shows how 2022 can succeed in the right hands. 75% new oak, 3.57ph. Harvest earliest ever, beginning on September 7 (2003 was September 15), 60% of production in the 1st wine, Eric Boissenot consultant. 38hl/h yield, a little over the Pauillac average. 95-97 Ella Lister – lefigaro.fr (Mei 2023) - «Une dentelle de Calais» Le bouquet, à la fois hautain et chatoyant, s'ouvre sur des arômes de myrtilles sauvages (baies et feuilles), de chocolat noir, d'herbes aromatiques dans une ambiance fraiche comme une bouffée d'air de montagne en hiver. La bouche est totalement fondante et raffinée. On a presque l'impression de glisser dans la galerie des Glaces dans une alternance de miroirs et de rayons de lumières qui percent les fenêtres. La finale s'étire longuement sur une trame ciselée et précise, qui évoque une dentelle de Calais. 95-97 Jeff Leve – thewinecellarinsider.com (Mei 2023) Flowers, blackberries, spice, cigar box, black currants, cherries, and cedar open the perfume. On the palate, the wine is sweet, fresh, spicy, chewy, and almost creamy in the dark, red, pit fruit finish. The wine is long, with intensity, complexity, and aging ability. The wine is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, 14.2% ABV, 3.57 pH. Picking took place September 7 - September 23. This is the earliest harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were 38 hectoliters per hectare. Only 60% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. This wine has the potential to score even higher when it is in bottle. Drink from 2027 – 2060. 97 Jean Marc Quarin – Quarin.fr (Mei 2023) 95-96 Terre des Vins (Mei 2023) Grand Puy LacosteChateau Grand Puy Lacoste in Pauillac is gerespecteerd en geliefd.
