SaleFrom our sommelier team
A classical Cabernet Sauvignon-led Pauillac (about 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc) from gravel-hill vineyards over limestone, showing cassis, cedar, tobacco, blackberry, and cigar-box character with a full-bodied, tannic structure built for cellaring. Aged roughly 16-18 months in about 70% new French oak.
Signature pairings
- Grilled rack of lamb with herbs — Firm Cabernet Sauvignon tannins and cedar/tobacco notes are a classical match for the char and fat of grilled lamb.
- Aged Comte or Gruyere with cured meats — Firm tannin and cassis fruit stand up to salty cured meats and nutty aged cheese without being flattened.
- Peking duck (北京烤鸭) — Structured tannins cut through crisp duck skin and fat, while cedar and tobacco notes complement the dish's savory glaze.
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2016 is a Left Bank Bordeaux from Pauillac, built on a foundation of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot. The wine displays the region's hallmark dark-fruit intensity—blackcurrant and dark plum dominate the palate—balanced by secondary cedar, tobacco, and black pepper notes that reflect careful oak aging. Tertiary earth and leather emerge with time, adding complexity and food-friendliness. Medium-high tannins and medium acidity frame a medium-full body suited to extended cellaring or near-term enjoyment with substantial fare.
