Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste - Pauillac - Red - 2024

Once again this year, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands out as one of the smartest buys of the En Primeur campaign.

At the top of Pauillac’s hierarchy, this vintage showcases the elegance and poise the estate has become known for—confirming its rightful place among the greats, earned through precision, consistency, and care. It also benefits from one of the most ideally located and uniform terroirs in the entire appellation. Without hesitation, we can say this wine holds its own alongside many Second—and even First—Growths of Pauillac.

Is there a better wine to embody the classic Pauillac style? This is a wine of pedigree: refined and focused, with depth delivered through finesse rather than force. The 2024 vintage is no exception, offering a sleek, fruit-driven structure, with precise energy and a long, graphite-tinged finish shaped by Cabernet Sauvignon.

Surely one of the most elegant wines in Pauillac. “The only estate I’ve bought a case of en primeur every year for the past 20 years,” says Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World, who awarded it 93/100.
