Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2020 is an example of a vintage marked by a significant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend – 76%, which demonstrates the tremendous potential of its terroir and completed by 24% Merlot. It’s a very beautiful vintage, more classic in terms of structure than the 2018 and 2019. The bouquet releases aromas of ripe red fruit, violets and spices. This is complemented by an attractive fresh minerality. The attack is precise, clean and long, with its ripe and melted tannins. Overall, this is a wine of great balance, allying charm, elegance and freshness; it is aromatic, with an aftertaste of considerable purity.

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot
