#40 in Top 100 Wines of France, 2025. A rich wine that is rather youthful at this stage, with rich but fresh aromas of black and blue fruit, violets and fine wood spices, which will integrate soon. On the palate this is flavorful and well structured, with fine, dusty tannins. As with many left-bank wines in Bordeaux, the tannins this year changed from fine-grained to super dusty and mealy, which means higher phenolic ripeness. 79% cabernet sauvignon and 21% merlot. 14% alcohol. The tannins make you want to drink it now, but it’ll be better from 2029 when the oak integrates. From a vertical tasting at the winery.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Wine Spectator

This version shows the floral side of the vintage, with a vibrant mix of iris, violet and rose petal notes leading the way, backed by a core of pure and racy red and black currant preserves. There's a well-integrated singed cedar note running along its flanks and a long beam of iron driving the finish. Textbook. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042.

The 2022 Grand Puy Lacoste, observed out of barrel, offers a more sensual and generous bouquet than previous vintages, with blackberry, bilberry and cedar scents emerging from the glass with a hint of pencil box underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, showing more structure than it did from barrel, which is precisely what you want from this Pauillac estate. Tobacco and graphite notes towards the finish linger beautifully in classical style. This is a very impressive wine that will mature with panache and stature.

Decanter

Vibrant floral scents on the nose - roses and violets with blackcurrants, dried herbs and chocolate. Smooth and round on the palate, this has an excellent weight in the mouth - silky tannins, fleshy cherry fruit, cushioning acidity and subtle spice all combines to give such a delicious mouthful of wine that feels cool and classic which wasn't easy in 2022. It has the Pauillac power but with real charm and drinkability. Well constructed and characterful with mineral markers in the wet stone and graphite as well as tobacco, tar, clove and espresso. I loved this wine En Primeur and it has totally delivered after ageing. A joy to drink and this will also age supremely well.

The Wine Independent

The grand vin here is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, and the élevage was in 75% new oak for 16 to 18 months. This possesses a gorgeous nose, one which seems to evoke the rich and dark fruit of the vintage as well as the fresh and gravelly terroir of this corner of Pauillac, with fragrant notes of mint, bay leaf and dried flowers laid over charming dark cherry notes and crushed gravel, all dressed with little notes of sandalwood and toast. This is all about the pure, fresh and charming fruit, with damson, red plum and black pepper on the palate, the fine textural quality of the palate resting on an imposing and ripe but dry and tightly knit tannic structure. A beautiful example of what can be achieved on the western gravels of the Grand Puy, this is an impressive vintage from Grand-Puy-Lacoste, one built for the cellar;come back to this one in 10 or 15 years. Tasted three times. The alcohol is 14% on the label.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has turned out nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of rose petal, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety, with a layered core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's beautifully balanced.
