Château GRAND - PUY - LACOSTE, Pauillac Grand Cru

An intense nose, expresses, with a delicate restraint, a lot of complexity and nuances: aromas of black fruits, spices (liquorice) delicately married to more mineral and bloody notes. The final perception is marked by more smoky notes (hearth, soot...).
Aging: + 5 / + 10.
Pairing: Parisian duck pie with duck foie gras, selected salads from Montesson

Nose of stone fruit (apricot, peach), honey and flowers. Hints of sweet spices and toasted dried fruit. Rich and delicious on the palate. The slender finish is marked by the mineral freshnes of the granite, giving this wine great depth.
Aging: + 3/ + 4 years.
Pairing: Fine fish, shellfish and langoustines.

This wine is dense with dark tannins as well as the elegance associated with the appellation. It comes from a vineyard that has been separated out from the Léoville las Cases estate. Packed with tannins as well as blueberry and blackberry fruits, the wine will develop well over several years.

Aging: +25 years

Pairgin: Red Meat, Cheese

The nose is complex and intense. The red fruits are mixed with notes of sweet spices and white pepper.
Aging: + 5 / + 10 years.
Pairing: Pork tenderloin with peaches a la plancha.

The first nose reveals an aromatic combination of ripe nectarines and cooked apples wrapped in a more exotic framework of fresh fruits such as pineapple and mango juice.

Aging: + 5 / + 15 years

Pairing: Roquefort and foie gras. Pan-fried duck foie gras, slices of candied pears.

Wood aging in older barrels has given this rich wine its smooth patina and generous tannins. The fresh red-berry fruit is all there along with acidity, but the depth and balance of this single-vineyard wine give it such sophistication.

Aging: +5 / +20 years

Pairing: Terrine of game, Rabbit, Perdreaux, Roast venison, Shoulder of lamb, Osso Bucco.

“La Montée de St Ruble” is a great terroir. Marly soils usually yield round, rich wines, but due to this slope's north-western exposure, the resulting wine is fresh with good acidity and boasts lovely ripe fruit. Its precise aromas and flavors make this wine the perfect match for gourmet meals as well as for dishes with character.

Food pairing: Fresh salad with goats cheese, smoked salmon, or an asparagus risotto. 

Medium ruby-red in color, but quite darkly pigmented. Aromas are restrained & introspective, showing red-fruit & coffee notes. Vivid cassis & redcurrant flavors on the palate are supported by fresh acidity. The mid-weight wine has fine, firm tannins. The acidity gives the cassis fruit on the mid-palate an attractive juicy nature. The tannins give grip without being astringent. The finish is long & elegant with tangy black-fruit to the end.

Aging: +28 years
