56% Cabernet Sauvignon/36% Merlot/8% Cabernet Franc. Yield: 40hL/ha. Red and dark cherry, violet and raspberry. Fresh, supple, perfumed, with soft tannins and lifted acidity. A pretty, early-drinking expression of Pauillac. (NT 31/05/22)

William Kelley
The 2021 Lacoste-Borie is a supple, charming wine, bursting with aromas of sweet cherries, berries, licorice and spices. Medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with melting tannins and a generous core of fruit, it will drink well on release. It`s a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. 89-90 points
Neal Martin
The 2021 Lacoste-Borie has an attractive, earthy nose with touches of warm gravel infusing the black fruit, lighter compared to recent vintages, but clean and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly tangy entry and a little more boldness and fruit concentration than the nose suggests, a liberal splash of black pepper on the finish. This is maybe an earlier-drinking Lacoste-Borie, but it will age nicely over 12 to 15 years. 88 points

Juicy but restrained slate-textured tannins holding together blackcurrant and black cherry fruits. This has high acidities that make things are a little abrupt on the finish but this has a ton of Pauillac character, 40hl/h yield (35hl/h yield after selection). 87 points
