Strong floral edge, rosebud and raspberry leaf, attractive smoke, not hugely intense but this is full of pleasing sappy red fruits, 38hl/h yield, 24% new oak for ageing, Borie family owners.
The 2024 Lacoste Borie is a very pretty second wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice and pomegranate are nicely pushed forward in this mid-weight Pauillac from the Borie family. The 2024 will be a delight right out of the gate.
The 2024 Lacoste-Borie offers light brambly red berry fruit on the nose that's laced with tobacco and pencil box scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft entry, grainy texture, light tannins and an easygoing, slightly attenuated finish. This is early drinking.
About the producer
In 1978 the Borie family took over Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Xavier Borie has been making exceptional wines here ever since. With 58 hectares of vines around the château, this is a wine with real Pauillac style.
