    Second wine of Grand-Puy Lacoste. Fruity, tender, silky, and always elegant. A classic at a reasonable price.

    Variation case
    In music, a variation is an evolution based on a defined theme. Grand-Puy-Lacoste has thus chosen to combine 3 different formats in a single case, enabling the evolution of the wine to be followed over time. The "Caisse Variation" thus contains 1 Double-Magnum, 2 Magnums and 4 Bottles, equivalent in volume to 12 bottles.

    Le Point : 15/20 « Toujours un peu l'inverse du grand vin : fleuri, fruité, souple mais assez dense pour tenir les années. »
    Quarin : 89/100
    « Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, pur et fruité. Bouche tout en douceur tactile, offrant un gras fin jamais perçu ici à cet âge. Evolution juteuse et distinguée, sur un fond de réglisse. Ensemble chic et incrachable. »
    Galloni : 88-90/100 « The 2023 Lacoste-Borie is a soft, supple second wine to drink on release, while its fruity, open-knit personality is on display. Succulent red cherry, spice and rose petal are nicely pushed forward. Lovely aromatics from the Franc linger. »
    Martin : 88-90/100 « It bursts with red fruit on the nose—raspberry and wild strawberry—forward and quite generous in keeping with the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins on the entry. Moderately deep, it tapers slightly toward the graphite-infused finish. This Deuxième Vin has an easy-drinking sensibility and should be broached over the next decade. »

    Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the finest of Pauillac's 5th classified growths, held with competence and care by Mr. François-Xavier Borie and his children. The latest vintages show even greater aromatic precision and tannin nobility, especially the superb 2020 vintage.

    Revue du Vin de France : 94-95/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Aucun doute sur les origines pauillacaises de ce vin à la fois très distingué, droit et joliment enrobé. Un vin de grande classe, avec de l’éclat et une belle longueur. Un cru à mettre en cave en toute confiance. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 92/100 « Bon corps, belle texture, tannin complexe, il n’est pas complétement lisible notamment en raison d’un tannin encore un peu serré. Le style du terroir est bien présent. »
    Le Point : 18/20 « Pivoine, agrumes, bouche légère, tendre, épicée, pimentée, tanins granuleux, croquants. Sérieux et aimable à la fois. »
    Quarin : 96/100
     « Nez très aromatique, pur, fin, subtil, précis et même rare. Il gagne des nuances complexes et profondes à l'agitation du verre. Finement pulpeux en entrée de bouche, avec de la classe dans le toucher, ce vin au déroulé subtil glisse sur la langue, parfume et conserve tout le long sa pulpe délicate. Il s'achève incrachable et profond, avec un retour de la violette dans la persistance. A ce stade, un look de Lafite. »
    Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is powerful, reticent and shy, revealing notes of black cherry, gravel, scorched earth and licorice. It's rich, ample and quite potent, marked by an intriguing mix of super-ripe Merlots and later-picked Cabernet. »
    Martin : 93-95/100 « The 2023 Grand Puy Lacoste  has a classic "GPL" bouquet with blackberry, pencil box and light marine scents, obviously not as powerful as the previous vintage, yet in typical style, beautifully defined and focused. Just a touch of cracked black pepper surfaces with aeration. [...] There's an impressive linearity to this wine, and thus I suspect it will require less bottle-age compared to recent vintages. »
