A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. ~ 96-97 James Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste reveals\u003cstrong\u003e a classic, refined bouquet of cassis, dark berries, cedar and lead pencil, with discreet floral nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and precise, it’s built around a well-defined core of fruit framed by finely grained, youthful, filigreed tannins with a tensile profile. Less demonstrative than some of its peers in Pauillac, it privileges balance and typicity over sheer power, concluding with a long, elegant and mineral finish. Produced from a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, this is the first vintage vinified in the estate’s new gravity-fed cellar, enabling more precise parcel selection—an evolution that appears to reinforce the wine’s precision and coherence. ~ 95-97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the first to be made in the new gravity-fed winery. It was picked between September 4 and 18 at 30 hl\/ha, much lower than normal, with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (76%). Matured in 65% new oak, it has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of graphite emerging with aeration, beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins. \u003cstrong\u003eDefinitely one of the most refined GPLs that I have tasted at this stage, very harmonious, complex and engaging. Superb persistence on the finish; this is a complete Pauillac that is going to give immense pleasure. \u003c\/strong\u003e~ 94-96 Vinous Media\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Cabernet-dominant blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, the 2025 Château Grand Puy Lacoste is gorgeous, with ultra-classic Pauillac aromatics of red and black fruits, lead pencil, graphite, and crushed stone. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. \u003cstrong\u003eIt's up there with the top vintages of this cuvée,\u003c\/strong\u003e and it doesn't get more Pauillac than this. ~ 94-96 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Grand Puy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48673836957931,"sku":"CGPLP25FUT","price":350.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/files\/Chateau_Grand_Puy_Lacoste_Pauillac_FUTURES_6_x_750ml.jpg?v=1718419675","url":"https:\/\/www.bighammerwines.com\/products\/2025-chateau-grand-puy-lacoste-pauillac-futures-6-x-750ml","provider":"BigHammerWines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
