Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 5ème Cru Classé 2016 is an exclusive red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux, France, which combines classic structure, depth, and refined elegance in a powerful and harmonious expression. The 2016 vintage is considered one of the great Bordeaux vintages, and the wine presents an impressive balance between intense fruit, freshness, and firm, well-integrated tannins. It is a wine with great personality and excellent aging potential, making it an obvious choice for those seeking a classic Pauillac with both character and finesse.

On the nose, the wine opens with nuances of blackcurrant, dark cherries, and ripe plum, beautifully complemented by cedar, tobacco, graphite, and fine spicy undertones. The aromatic profile is deep, classic, and very elegant, with a lovely combination of dark fruit and the characteristic Pauillac signature. The palate is full-bodied, precise, and well-structured with ripe tannins, lively acidity, and a long, nuanced finish where dark fruit, spice, and minerality blend harmoniously. The result is a wine with both strength, balance, and timeless French elegance.

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2016 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. It is an ideal wine for special dinners and for those seeking a stylish and characterful Bordeaux with depth, complexity, and classic French finesse.

94 /100

The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot that matured in 75% new oak. It has 13.3% alcohol this year. It has an extraordinarily pure bouquet with blackberry, briary, touches of pencil shaving and cedar aromas--quintessential Grand-Puy-Lacoste, basically. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. Gone are the days when this Pauillac was as hard as nails for the first decade. The tannins are nowadays much finer and the acidity lends this tension and plenty of freshness. There is an effortless quality to this Pauillac with wonderful length and such finesse on the finish that you immediately want to go back and re-taste it. Like so many others, this improved with aeration, gaining ever more harmony and precision. What a brilliant wine. It is classic Pauillac to its core. - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

96 /100

Brambled fruit, cherry pit, damson, sandalwood, black pepper, baking spices, juicy finish. Moving into its drinking window, a classically succulent and drinkable GPL. 75% new oak.

91 /100

Juicy and jammy, this wine is already smoothly textured. Its black fruits add a fresh touch and give a ripe feeling. Likely to develop quickly the wine will be ready to drink from 2022. Roger Voss

Wine Enthusiast

95 /100

Deep, dark ruby with an opaque core, brightening at the rim. Blackberries and cassis are underlaid with oak notes, a hint of spice, and orange zest. Full-bodied and finely-meshed, with pronounced dark berry fruit and well-embedded, ripe tannins. Mineral and persistent. Certain ageing potential.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
