Description
Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, in Pauillac, which has been owned by the Borie family since 1978 and is now run by Francois Xavier Borie and daughter Emeline. The grape blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
TASTING NOTE: This 2019 has full, red berry fruit and is luscious and smooth, with a hint of spice from barrel ageing. It’s an impressive Bordeaux with finesse and well integrated 14.5% alcohol, that is approachable now and cellarable for another couple of years, although we don’t think you’ll want to wait!
PAIRING AND SERVING IDEAS: It also makes a versatile food match. Pop this into a decanter for an hour before serving and it’s lovely and open and expressive. A treat for a roast or Sunday lunch.
