Viniou Reviews

Wine and Region Description:

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2018 hails from the prestigious Pauillac appellation in the Médoc sub-region of Bordeaux, renowned for its robust and age-worthy reds. While the exact grape blend isn't specified, Pauillac wines typically feature a dominant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and occasionally Cabernet Franc. The 2018 vintage is distinguished by its rich, structured profile, benefiting from a growing season that combined warmth and some timely rainfall, contributing to concentrated flavours and a balanced acidity. The terroir, characterised by its gravelly soils, promotes excellent drainage, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon's deep root systems. The estate enjoys a storied reputation, celebrated for its consistency and precision in winemaking.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

This Grand Cru pairs sublimely with robust dishes that can stand up to its intensity. Consider pairing it with roasted lamb with rosemary, a classic beef Wellington, or even a hearty cassoulet. These dishes complement the wine's tannic structure and depth. For a local culinary experience, serve it alongside a beef entrecôte Bordelaise, celebrating the harmonious alignment of regional flavours.

Tasting Advice:

To fully appreciate the complexities of this wine, serve it at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting for about 1-2 hours before serving will allow its nuanced bouquet to open up, revealing layers of dark fruits, cassis, and subtle oak. Begin by observing its deep ruby hue, then gently swirl the glass to release its aromatic profile. As you taste, notice the balance between its tannins, fruit, and acidity, making it both powerhouse and elegant – a true testament to Pauillac's excellence.
