Unlike the prior two grands crus

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 57%

It has a very intense and beautifully defined bouquet with mineral rich blackberry and bilberry scents

the 2017 Grand-Puy-Lacoste was aged in French oak barriques

subtle floral scents emerging with time

well-judged acidity

The tannins are nowadays much finer and the acidity lends this tension and plenty of freshness

A more deeply pitched and definitely more sauvage-inflected dark berry fruit nose is also quite floral in character
