2025 Lacoste Borie Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Lacoste-Borie, a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, planted at a lower density of 7,000 vines per hectare (versus 9,000 for Grand-Puy-Lacoste), is now more clearly defined and no longer conceived simply as a second wine. It reveals a gourmand, fresh bouquet of red berries, followed by a medium-bodied, juicy and elegant palate framed by fresh, velvety tannins and concluding with a long, ethereal and fruity finish. This is a refined and very appealing wine.

Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2025 Lacoste-Borie is now labelled "Vignes du Parc", in reference to the fact that this comes from different soils and planting density, i.e. different to Grand Puy Lacoste. It has a vivacious bouquet with abundant redcurrant and strawberry scents, well defined, with just a light hint of bell pepper from the 8% Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good tension, a seam of graphite that pins it down as Pauillac. Modest length. This has a pleasing rondeur that will make it approachable and charming, yet there is still fine substance. This would make a perfect introduction to the delights of Pauillac. Drink 2030-2050.

This is concentrated and medium- to full-bodied, with detailed, linear fruit complemented by precise, focused tannins. Savory finish with a cedar note. Fine tannins. 68% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 8% cabernet franc.

Beautiful vibrant colour in the glass with a pink rim. So fragrant with rose petals and red cherries – smells pristine, really clear and clean. Smooth and sappy with lovely succulence straight away and mouthwatering acidity. This is delicious, tastes like grape juice with grippy tannins and a chalky, graphite finish. Crunchy, delicate yet super flavourful, crisp with high acidity and lovely Cabernet freshness plus mint, aniseed and clove spice. Strength is there. A yield of 30hl/ha. New cellar with more precise plot selection. Small crop but good quality. Earliest ever Merlot harvest on 4 September, Cabernets picked 14-18th. Rain on 13/14th helped reduce alcohol a little in the Cabernets. Drink 2030-2036.
