Chateau Lacoste Borie Pauillac 2015: Unveiling a Classic Pauillac

A Second Wine that Shines: The General Wine Company Explores Chateau Lacoste Borie

The esteemed Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux is synonymous with iconic wines. Chateau Lacoste Borie Pauillac 2015, the second wine of Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, offers an exciting opportunity to delve into this world-renowned region without breaking the bank.

Second Wine, First-Rate Quality

Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste boasts a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Lacoste Borie is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using grapes sourced from vines averaging 38 years old. This maturity contributes to the wine's complexity and depth.

A Deep Dive into the Tasting Experience

The 2015 Lacoste Borie opens with an enticing bouquet. Look for expressive aromas of crushed red berries like strawberries and raspberries, mingling with hints of cedar and a touch of refreshing mint. This is a wine that immediately draws you in with its vibrancy.

On the palate, Lacoste Borie boasts a medium body with supple tannins. The fruit flavours from the nose carry through beautifully, offering a juicy and approachable character. Hints of vanilla emerge on the finish, adding a touch of elegance.

Food Pairings to Elevate Your Experience

Lacoste Borie's versatility makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of dishes. Here are some suggested pairings to help you unlock its full potential:

• Classic Roast Lamb: The juicy character of Lacoste Borie complements the richness of roast lamb perfectly. Rosemary-infused lamb pairs particularly well with the wine's herbal notes.
• Grilled Red Meats: Lacoste Borie's firm tannins stand up well to the bold flavours of grilled steaks and burgers.
• Hearty Vegetarian Options: Don't shy away from pairing Lacoste Borie with vegetarian fare. A mushroom Wellington or a lentil Shepherd's pie would be delicious accompaniments.
• Cheese Platter Perfection: Lacoste Borie pairs beautifully with a selection of cheeses. Opt for semi-firm cheeses like Gouda or Gruyere, or explore French classics like Comte.

The Art of Drinking: When to Decant and Serving Temperature

While Lacoste Borie is approachable in its youth, decanting for 30 minutes can help soften the tannins and further enhance the aromatics. The ideal serving temperature for Lacoste Borie is slightly cool, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
