Description
The 2020 from Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a young Pauillac fifth growth from the Borie family. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in support.
Right now it is closed and strict, so most of the enjoyment is ahead. Hold it for at least five years, then try it with roast leg of lamb or a ribeye. If you open it sooner, decant for several hours and use a large glass.
Questions about Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2020
- What growth is Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste?
- It is a fifth growth of Pauillac in the 1855 classification. The estate has belonged to the Borie family since 1978, and its wine is Cabernet Sauvignon-led with Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
- Is Pauillac wine expensive?
- Pauillac is home to Lafite, Latour and Mouton, so its reputation pushes prices up. Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a classic Pauillac with similar structure, at a level well below those first growths.

- It is built for the cellar. Tannins in a young vintage are firm, and ten to fifteen years brings out cedar, graphite and blackcurrant in the glass.
