Second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Expressive scents of crushed strawberry, raspberry coulis, cedar and light mint aromas that are well defined. There is joie de vivre here. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, a juicy Lacoste-Borie that wears its heart on its sleeve, hints of vanilla toward the finish. |

Forward and lifted cassis fruit on the nose with violets and notes of graphite. More of the same across the palate, flamboyant and dense with bags of acidity providing a linear feel – very typical of the finest 2014s. This is fleshy and generous but with the firm tannin backbone that we expect from the commune. |

Brimming a fine colour and offering a fine fragrance of Cabernet fruit, it is quite firm and tries to hide, but floral, pretty, and noticeably alluring notes emerge. Soft and approachable, there is a crunch to the palate and an elegant polish on the finish.

Sumptuous amounts of raspberry fruit just wafts from the glass. This is so clean and pure on the palate too, with layer after layer of minerality enhanced with generous puppy fat to round it off in a dramatic way. Totally classy, breathtaking. |

It has notes of tayberry, strawberry liqueur, flowers, and blood orange. It is vital, fluid, and lithe - a vibrant, high-toned, engaging Petite Eglise that remains feminine and subtle. Finesse over power - absolutely wonderful! |
